I’ve officially made my new blog! I’ll be writing about my fundraising efforts until June and then about the ride! If you follow me here, I’d appreciate if it you would follow this one too! Thanks!

4K for Cancer

4K for Cancer

Hi everyone! I will be spending the summer riding 4500 miles across the country in a show of solidarity in the fight against cancer. 

Please check out my fundraising page and donate if you can, signal boost by forwarding it along if you can’t! As you can see on the donation form, if you’d like me to dedicate a day to someone in your life fighting cancer, I’d be more than happy to! This means they will be part of our morning dedication circle, and I will ride that day with their name written on my calf.

You can read more about 4K and the Ulman Cancer Fund below!

The 4K was started with a passion for fighting a disease that leaves so many feeling helpless and alone. From this feeling of vulnerability often comes a conviction to get involved, fight back, and accomplish 
extraordinary things. This idea of fighting cancer in extraordinary ways is what the 4K is wholeheartedly about. The 4K is about motivating people and inspiring hope in those who have been rendered vulnerable. The 4K provides companionship amidst the deep hurt that cancer causes in the lives of so many people across the country. By coming together as a group, we become an effective tool capable of connecting with thousands of people across the United States.Through the hard work and dedication of our riders and leaders, the 4K for Cancer has been a tremendous success. In addition to donating over a million dollars to the fight against cancer, our riders have touched the lives of thousands of wonderful people across the country. In doing so they have found strength and hope for themselves.

In twelve years, the 4K has raised over $2,500,000 to support patients and families in their cancer journey. This past summer the 4K program raised almost $800,000 in the fight against cancer. Past riders raised the majority of this sum through many small donations from friends and families. We take great pride in putting these donations to use as effectively and efficiently as possible to further our mission and programmatic activities. The UCF spends 88% on mission related programs. It is the goal of the 4K program in 2014 is to raise over $800,000.

I’ll also be starting a new blog to document that! If you follow me here, you should get ready to follow that one in about a month or 2!
