Why Ride

Every Mile Has Meaning

Cancer remains one of the most significant health challenges facing our world today. While tremendous progress has been made in treatment and research, millions of individuals and families continue to face the physical, emotional, and financial impact of a cancer diagnosis.

Cycling With Cancer exists to make a difference through awareness, advocacy, and fundraising.

Raising Awareness

Every ride starts a conversation. By sharing stories, experiences, and challenges, we help increase understanding and bring greater visibility to the fight against cancer.

Supporting Research

Research has led to life-saving breakthroughs and improved outcomes for countless patients. Funds raised through Cycling With Cancer help support Smilow Cancer Research Center and Yale New Haven Hospital, which are dedicated to advancing cancer research and treatment.

Inspiring Hope

Cancer can be overwhelming, but hope remains one of the most powerful forces in the healing journey. Every mile ridden sends a message that progress is possible.

Building Community

No one should face cancer alone

Through our rides and events, we create a community of support where survivors, families, friends, and advocates can come together around a shared purpose.
