History
Inspired by the cancer diagnosis of his grandmother in 2011, Patrick Acker co-founded Cycling4aCure raising funds for cancer research and counseling by crossing the country on his bicycle. The journey took 46 days, covered 3,342.4 miles, and encountered 125-degree temperatures. Over $17,000 was raised on their first trip.
Who benefits?
Donations will continue to benefit Cycling4aCure’s fiscal sponsor, Cindy’s Hope Chest, a cancer support network based out of Charlotte, NC specializing in counseling for individuals with cancer. Donations will also help the organization donate bikes to children’s cancer hospitals.
