2019 has been Cycle for Survival's biggest year yet. This season, 36,000 participants rode in 16 cities across the United States, raising a record-breaking $41 million - and counting! 100% of every dollar goes directly to rare cancer research within 6 months of the close of events. While the rides may be over, there's still time to donate until fundraising closes on April 1!
This season, Cycle for Survival also surpassed a momentous milestone - raising over $200 million for rare cancer research since our inagural event in 2007. Every dollar donated to Cycle for Survival goes into the labs at Memorial Sloan Kettering — an incredible $200 million to pursue bold ideas and discover new and better treatments.
Each person who fundraises and donates to Cycle for Survival is an important part of this battle. It takes a movement. And together, we are making a real difference for people with rare cancers around the world. The future is brighter now than it was 13 years ago. For all of our loved ones who fought cancer, are fighting cancer, and will fight cancer — we ride.
