We Ride for Hope, Resilience, and a Cure
Welcome to Cycling With Cancer, a passionate community initiative led by Frank Soltesz. We are dedicated to supporting the brave individuals currently battling cancer and celebrating the incredible strength of those who have beaten it.
No one has to face cancer alone
Cancer affects us all, but no one has to face it alone. Through the power of cycling and community fundraising, we aim to raise awareness, build a network of support, and generate vital funding for life-saving research and patient care.
Supporting research and the people living the journey today
Financially, our efforts proudly support the Closer to Free Ride, an annual cycling event that funds the groundbreaking work being done at the Smilow Cancer Research Center and Yale New Haven Hospital. The funds we help raise go directly toward world-class patient care, innovative clinical trials, and the relentless pursuit of a cure.
Beyond fundraising, we are here to support each other. Through our dedicated community page and active social media platforms, we provide a welcoming space for patients, survivors, and loved ones to connect, share their stories, and lift one another up. Whether you need encouragement on a tough day or want to celebrate a milestone, our community is here for you.
Turning support into tangible action
To maximize our support, Cycling With Cancer regularly organizes sweepstakes, fundraisers, and group efforts. These initiatives give our community a chance to win exciting prizes while making a tangible, positive impact on the lives of cancer patients and their families.
There is a place for you with us
Whether you are a survivor, a supporter, or an avid cyclist, there is a place for you with us. Connect with our community online, participate in our latest sweepstakes, and together, we can turn our miles into milestones as we ride closer to a world free of cancer.
