Cycling for a Cause is an event designed to raise funds for the Lance Armstrong Foundation as well as raise awareness about cancer. Its’ realization will involve a college student bicycling from one tip of North America to the other in order to make a difference. This summer he will bicycle over 12,000 kilometers from Alaska to Panama, intending to raise $1 for every kilometer he covers along the way.
The Lance Armstrong Foundation was founded in 1998 by cancer survivor and champion cyclist Lance Armstrong. Since then, it has both inspired and empowered people affected by cancer. In the battle with cancer, unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything.
