Bicycle To Raise Money For Cancer

Bicycling as a fund-raiser is nothing new to the sport. Rides for multiple sclerosis, cancer and various other diseases are a popular way to bring the community together. Several large-scale fund-raising organizations exist to help people start raising money for the causes they believe in.


Instructions


1. Search your community's information outlets. If you look around you will probably find that a ride is already established to combat cancer. In most cities there is one chapter or another of the various organizations that help to raise money in support of a cure. If you go to cancer.org you can type in your zip code to see if there is an American Cancer Society event near you.


2. Find a ride nearby. If there isn't a ride in your community then the nearest metropolitan area has to have one. Check the Internet for various rides that take place nationally, including the Bicycles Battling Cancer or the Ride to Conquer Cancer in Canada. You could become a part of these rides and not only connect with your community but also help raise money simultaneously.


3. Start your own ride. If you can't find anything else, contact the American Cancer Society, as it provides resources to help you start a benefit. It provides entire packages that cater to community-building fund-raisers that support the fight against cancer.
