TD Five Boro Bike Tour

Biking for Bill

Welcome to Team Biking for Bill's fundraising page.

On May 5th, NYC will transform as 32,000 riders from around the globe take to the streets, pedaling through all five boroughs in the renowned TD Five Boro Bike Tour. Covering a distance of 40 miles, the tour commences in Lower Manhattan and concludes in Staten Island. Over the next few weeks, we will be fundraising for the American Cancer Society, an esteemed charity partner of this event. 

On the day of the event, we will be riding in memory of Bill Drake, who passed away from cancer in July 2019.

 Bill was diagnosed with Stage 4 esophageal cancer in September 2013. For nearly six years, he faced his diagnosis with unwavering courage and determination, embracing life to the fullest extent. One of his greatest joys was riding his motorcycle along the picturesque beaches of Cape Cod.

A strong advocate for cutting-edge cancer research, Bill believed in the power of innovative therapies and early detection technologies to save lives. Funds raised through this initiative will support vital cancer patient programs and pioneering treatments, making a tangible impact on those affected by this disease.

We would be incredibly grateful for your support as we embark on this meaningful journey. Thank you for considering our cause.

With heartfelt gratitude,

- Family and Friends of Bill

How Fundraising Impacts Your Community

Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.

As of January 2022, we have invested $400 M for potentially lifesaving cancer research grants.

We have received over 250,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2021

Cancer patients benefited from ACS transportation support through our Road TO Recovery program and transportation grants in 2021, with nearly 229,000 rides provided.

Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.  

Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
