Cancer affects individuals, families and communities everywhere. The Freedom from Cancer Ride is a local response by members of the United We Ride cycling team in Kansas City, Missouri to raise funds for cancer research, treatment and family support services. The team strives to unite local communities in a common fight against cancer and promote bicycling safety, transportation, fitness and fun.
Benefiting LIVESTRONG and The Lance Armstrong Foundation, 100% of net proceeds from the Freedom from Cancer Ride are committed to the national organization. Founded by seven time Tour de France winner and cancer survivor, Lance Armstrong, LAF connects individuals with cancer to vital support services and has raised more than $325 million for the cause since 1997.
The Freedom from Cancer Ride begins in Independence, Missouri and offers options ranging from one to 22 miles on Little Blue Trace Trail or 35-100 miles of country roads in Eastern Jackson County. The road route takes cyclists through Independence, Sibley, Buckner, Wellington and Lexington. As a sponsor, your business or local community can participate at several fund-raising levels and a variety of advertising options. We look forward to your support of this very worthy cause.
