Biking from Baltimore to San Francisco to spread awareness and foster hope
The 4K for Cancer is the nation's oldest university-based cross-country bicycle trek. Each summer, students from universities all across the country undertake a two-month bicycle trek from Baltimore, Maryland to the Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco, California. The 4,000-miles that our riders cycle gives the 4K its name.
Each morning our riders wake up early and bike 70 to 130 miles through America’s landscape, sharing our passion for our cause with everyone we meet. On the road we dedicate much of our time to community service, such as volunteering with the Relay for Life in Cleveland, OH and visiting cancer patients at the Midland Hospice in Topeka, KS. We hope that by sharing our enthusiasm throughout the journey, we will impress our passion for service upon others.
The 4K for Cancer, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to uniting communities across the country in the fight against cancer. We have a three-fold mission: Spreading Awareness, Raising Funds, and Fostering Hope. We are working to ease the pain that cancer has placed upon our families, friends and loved ones.
