Cycle for Tommy Strong

A month-long fundraising event in honor of Brain Cancer Awareness Month!

Please join us during the month of May - Brain Cancer Awareness Month - for our 2nd Annual Cycle for Tommy Strong as we raise money to fund important pediatric brain cancer research. Last year this event raised over $10,000 and we were able to help fund a new Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Lab at Hackensack Meridian Health Center for Discovery and Innovation. This year we have doubled our fundraising goal and we would love for you to help us meet it!  

Cycle (on or off the Peloton) or encourage the kids to log miles on their bikes. Set up your fundraising page, pledge a certain number of miles or rides for the month of May and invite friends to sponsor you ($1 per mile? $1 per ride? flat donations?). Fundraise on your own, or create/join a team to fundraise with friends. Please spread the word and ask your fellow riders to join us. Follow the other #tommystrong riders all month long here on the leaderboard. Have fun spreading awareness and making a difference for children fighting brain cancer!

If you have a Peloton bike or app, please join our hashtag leaderboard team, #tommystrong. Throughout Brain Cancer Awareness Month we will post about weekly rides with a live leaderboard that you can join and ride with fellow #tommystrong riders.

Brain cancer is the deadliest type of childhood cancer, having surpassed childhood leukemia. There are many different subtypes of pediatric brain cancer making life-saving research and treatment difficult. Sadly, the National Cancer Research Budget only allocates 4% of their research dollars to pediatric cancer research, therefore medical researchers must look elsewhere for their funding. Private foundations, such as the Tommy Strong Foundation, are committed to finding cures and better treatments for children with cancer and collaborate with medical community to make advancements in pediatric cancer research.
