The 4K for Cancer offers applicants the opportunity to have an amazingly positive impact on the lives of thousands of people affected by cancer. Each ride of the 4K for Cancer covers over 4,000 miles in 70 days every summer. On these rides, our cyclists have the opportunity to inspire and unite the communities that we travel through.
Dear applicant,
2013 will represent the 12th year in a row that the 4K for Cancer has sent cyclists riding across the country to fight cancer in extraordinary ways. 2013 cyclists will not only raise awareness for cancer, but will also make new friends, see amazing sights, receive a great new bicycle, and gain valuable life experience during the most memorable summer of their lives.
As an alumnus of the 2011 Portland ride I have found the three following statements to be true:
Riding across the country is an amazing personal accomplishment.
Riding across the country with a group of 29 other cyclists makes the accomplishment more meaningful.
Riding across the country with a group of 29 other cyclists, while being active in the fight cancer is the most memorable, life changing experience available to college students.
I look forward to receiving your application, and I can guarantee that if selected, 2013 will be the best summer of your life.
Cycle Inspire Unite,
Stephen Hersey
Program Coordinator, 4K for Cancer
