I began riding to support the fight against cancer years ago in memory of my father-in-law, lost to lung cancer in 2007.  I've since lost my own father in 2019 to glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive brain cancer. And if you're reading this, you may have friends or loved ones who have experienced their own battle with cancer.

This June 20th, I'll honor of my dad and my father-in-law by pedaling through the Pioneer Valley as part of the Bikes Fight Cancer community—riding to support patients, families, and caregivers impacted by cancer. Every dollar raised helps fund essential cancer care services and supports hospitals advancing life-saving cancer research.

LOVE BIKES. HATE CANCER.

Bikes Fight Cancer Inc. is a Western Massachusetts–based 501(c)(3) that uses its love of bikes to lessen the burden of a cancer diagnosis for patients, families, and caregivers. Through athletic events like the Bikes Fight Cancer Charity Ride, presented by PDC Incorporated, we empower a community to participate, donate, and fundraise in the fight against cancer. These efforts provide funding to organizations that deliver vital cancer care services and to hospitals advancing cancer research.
