Created in 2007, Cycle for Survival has raised over $105

the most recent event, which drew 27,000 cyclers, it continues
to grow each year. Significantly, 100 percent of every dollar
raised goes directly to funding 11 different research areas at

molecular oncology, among others.

• The event is open to anyone over 18 years of age, no
cycling experience necessary. Fundraising with
Cycle for Survival is most often done with a team of
four to eight riders, and each team must meet a
minimum fundraising total of $1,000. The teams are
given a customizable fundraising webpage to solicit
donations from people throughout the country.
Finally, teams reserve up to four bikes for four 50-
minute sessions at a team-selected location.
Individual riders may participate by reserving a bike
for four hours with a minimum fundraising total of
$4,000.
