Cancer touches nearly everyone.

This is my first time riding to support this cause and I wish I could have started sooner. I have registered for the Pan-Florida Challenge Cancer Ride and raising funds to support cancer patients and their families.

Consider these facts:

• According to the World Health Organization, maintaining a healthy diet and increasing physical activity is an important approach to cancer control.
• A cancer diagnosis can place undue financial burdens on patients and their families. Many patients and family care-givers need to alter their employment status, resulting in potential lost income and loss of insurance coverage.
• According to CancerCare, 70% of patients reported financial hardships because of cancer-related expenses. 50% of patients cut back on grocery expenses because they couldn't afford to buy food and pay for treatments.
• In just eight years, Pan-Florida Challenge has provided over eight million meals to hungry children, providing healthy buidling blocks for their future.

This March, I will join hundreds of other riders who are all committed to fighting cancer.

 Just $25 will provide nutritious cancer fighting foods to a hungry child for a month. 

$100 will help sponsor education programs that teach healthy eating techniques. 

Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up!
