Cycle for Survival Returns to Greenwich to Raise Funds for Rare Cancer Research
Over 550 people will gather on Sunday at Equinox for Greenwich’s
second annual Cycle for Survival,
a high-energy indoor team cycling event that raises money
for rare cancer research. Instructors from Cycle for Survival’s
founding partner, Equinox, will lead participants in
this family-friendly event that is committed to making more treatment
options available to help patients and their families by helping fill the
funding gap for rare cancer research. Everyone is invited to attend Cycle
for Survival to cheer for riders, donate and join the fun. 100% of every
donation goes to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and is allocated
to pioneering rare cancer clinical trials and research
studies within six months of the event. Doctors, rare cancer patients and caregivers
will be at the event to share their personal stories. Cycle for
Survival is one of the fastest-growing athletic fundraisers.
Since 2007, the movement has raised over $46 million to fund 85 clinical trials
and research studies. This year more than 16,000 riders will participate in
events in 13 cities nationwide. Visit www.cycleforsurvival.org and follow
