Why Do We Gear Up Against Kids Cancer?
With cycling becoming an increasingly popular activity in San Antonio and south Texas, the inaugural Gear Up Against Kids Cancer was launched on April 2, 2022, to address a critical need for increased support for pediatric cancer research. Recognizing the significant emotional and financial burdens faced by families dealing with childhood cancer, the event aims to channel community energy into a meaningful cause.
This bike ride serves as a fundraising mechanism and a community engagement tool. Participants from various backgrounds unite under a common goal: to contribute to the fight against pediatric cancer. 100% of the funds raised will remain local and directly support the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute – UT Health San Antonio, helping them transform today’s research discoveries into tomorrow’s treatments., increase survival rates, and enhance the quality of life for young patients.
This ride is fully supported with multiple rest stops along the way and SAG support for riders who need a little help finishing.
