Cycle for Survival raised $42 million in 2019 — more than $221 million in over a decade. Every single dollar is directly allocated to rare cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center within six months of the events.

We’re riding in 17 cities across the country in 2020 — including rides in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, San Francisco, and Los Angeles! Funds raised during these events enable Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to pioneer research and breakthrough clinical trials. Learn more about how Cycle for Survival works.

Together, we’re making a real difference.

Each year, world leaders in oncology select an area of cancer research that achieved the greatest progress. The American Society of Clinical Oncology 2019 Advance of the Year is “Progress in Treating Rare Cancers,” in recognition of major advances in treatment options for patients with rare cancers. Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers shared what they discovered, and we hope you join us in feeling enormous pride that several of these presentations reflect the impact made by Cycle for Survival.

You and the rest of the Cycle for Survival community helps make research such as this possible:

  • Dr. Sandra D’Angelo — A multi-center immunotherapy study for patients with metastatic sarcoma
  • Dr. Rachel Grisham — Research on low grade serous ovarian cancer
  • Dr. Darren Feldman — A clinical trial comparing two different drug combinations for patients with germ cell tumors
  • Dr. Benjamin Nacev — Oncohistones (a mutated protein found in some cancers) and other mutations in sarcomas, and applications in cancer care
  • Dr. Alison Schram — NRG1 fusions in cancer as a promising new therapeutic target
