Cycle for Tommy Strong

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

Please join us during the month of May for our 3rd Annual Cycle for Tommy Strong, a month-long fundraising event in honor of Brain Cancer Awareness Month. Together we will raise money to fund important pediatric brain cancer research and we will continue to raise awareness of the #1 deadliest type of childhood cancer. Last year 40 riders joined together to cycle 4000+ miles and raised more than $25,000 to help support an innovative multi-armed clinical trial developed by the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium. This year we hope to raise more funds to make an even greater impact in the fight against pediatric brain cancer.

Details, registration and donation information can be found at https://www.givesignup.org/Race/NJ/AnyCity/cycletommystrong. If you have a Peloton bike or app, please join our hashtag leaderboard team, #tommystrong.

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.
