How much would you like to donate?
This is a personal ask for your support as I prepare to ride 328 miles across the entire state of Ohio all to help people who are battling cancer right now, and make sure others don¹t face the same dilemma.
On July 25 2024, I'll embark on a bike tour called the American Cancer Society Pan Ohio Hope Ride which will take 4 days and cover 328 miles. This will be my 16th year of riding.
The tour’s goal is to raise awareness about, and funds for, the American Cancer Society¹s Hope Lodges. These facilities are essentially massive homes that are open to anyone who is fighting cancer but is struggling financially, logistically, or in any other way. The Hope Lodges give these fighters, and their families, everything they need so they can solely focus on getting better.
Every $1,000 I raise provides a 2 week stay in an ACS Hope Lodge for a cancer patient undergoing treatment and their caregiver; an average stay is 4 weeks! My goal is to help by providing 10 - 2 weeks stays. You can help me help 10 families in need.
Thanks for your consideration and support,
Ben
Your support allows the American Cancer Society to continue:
Advocacy
Fighting cancer in city halls, statehouses, and Congress by elevating the patient voice to advance policy change through the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN)
Patient Support
Ensuring no one feels alone at any point on their cancer journey, from prevention to survivorship, and, for some, the end of life.
Discovery
Investing in breakthrough science to find more - and better - treatments, uncover factors that may cause cancer, and improve patients' quality of life.
Health Equity
Ensuring that all people have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive cancer. ACS and ACS CAN believe all people should have a fair and just opportunity to live a longer, healthier life free from cancer regardless of how much money they make, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, gender identity, their disability status, or where they live.
