More than just a ride. Team G Childhood Cancer Foundation is a community committed to put pediatric cancer in its place. ”Kids’ Cancer Cycle Challenge” was inspired by our first Team G Ambassador, Bill Sylvester, who rode from the Border of Canada to the border of Mexico in September 2013! Held on the beautiful costal Highway 1 powered by an inspirational cause, the event brings together cyclists of all abilities. The only requirement is a bicycle, a helmet (of course) and a passion for fighting childhood cancer.
This coastal cycling event raises local and national funds for our Hope Tote program and pediatric cancer research at leading hospitals on the West Coast.
Show up with a bike. Any bike. And begin your journey down the beautiful coast. Fire up your old bike or shine up your new one and get ready for unprecedented views of the coast as you cycle your way from Half Moon Bay to Santa Cruz. We will end at The Food Lounge in Santa Cruz with entertainment and a fun filled afternoon of amazing food from Ty’s Eatery. After a long ride, you deserve it!

We are commUNITY. We ride as family, united by a common goal. We are achievable. Ride one mile. Ride one hundred miles (if you wanna go up AND back!). It’s a ride everyone will win. We are parents of survivors. Childhood cancer doesn’t own us. We will put it in it’s place. We are fun…wait…we are FUN!. Childhood cancer is serious business, but the ride doesn’t have to be. We are focused. We have a one-track mind. We exist to fight childhood cancer. We fight as one.
We ride. We ride for your child, your brother, your sister, your grandchild, your niece or nephew. We ride for the children just diagnosed and for their families fighting the battle of their lives. We ride for the angels, warriors, and survivors. We ride for the children recently diagnosed and the ones who have not yet been diagnosed. We ride to celebrate our child’s remission and we ride for those who are running out of time.
We fight childhood cancer. Pediatric cancer is the number one disease killer of children in the U.S. taking the lives of more children than asthma, AIDS, multiple sclerosis and muscular dystrophy combined. A lack of funding into new and improved therapies contributes to this sobering statistic. Approximately 15,780 children will be diagnosed in 2015 and an estimated 2,550 children and adolescents will die from cancer. Through the simple idea of “getting active”, Team G motivates and inspires individuals to participate to #fightforgold and dedicate any athletic challenge to a child fighting cancer. Together, we honor a child each month who has been affected by cancer. With this simple act, we are encouraging individuals to join in the fight against pediatric cancer by raising the funds and awareness needed to change the face of pediatric cancer.
We are Team G. Share the videos and media links HERE with your family and friends to let them know how Team G Childhood Cancer Foundation is active in your community!
