Friends!! I'm riding for Less Cancer on June 9. We've all heartachingly lost friends and family to cancer. I was diagnosed with cancer in November 2017. After an intense surgery and treatment, I am now cancer free but my life has been forever changed.
I'm still adjusting to my new normal but I am beyond grateful to have the strength to ride by bike! I love riding my bike! Love it! With every push of my pedals, I vow to manifest healing for all those affected by this wretched disease. Thanks to my friends + family who have always been by my side. Love you and appreciate you.
Just like most things, you get what you pay for, meaning we need to raise more money for cancer research so we can do more when it comes to cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. The goal is Less Cancer.
Consider a donation to Less Cancer, our goal is to raise money and raise awareness to make real change in the cancer community and make prevention a priority.
Also, I'm only riding the 60 miles not the 250 like other rock stars.
Thank you,
Kristen
Less Cancer Bike Ride Split the Mitt 2019
This summer, we’re getting back on the road. Since 2012, the Less Cancer Ride has evolved from a few excited, dedicated advocates into an ever-growing community of cyclists who want to change how the world looks at cancer.
The ride is something big, and our inspiring Team Less Cancer is getting there in style. Our seasoned crew of riders is riding to the ride all the way from Midland, Michigan. At over 100 miles, they'll be honoring the hard work that goes into spreading the Less Cancer mission, as well as the effort, sacrifice, and lessons learned along the way. Their ride will culminate at The Cowell Family Cancer Center, Traverse City Michigan to meet and great riders who are eagerly awaiting the big community ride on Sunday morning.
And it's Sunday that we're counting on YOU to join us for. Any distance, any pace, every effort adds up. The ride, the route, and the feeling of accomplishment are your reward, as well as great food and excellent fun along the way!
It’s not a race, it’s a journey. Go fast, go slow, but go with the confidence that your efforts to ride and fundraise have a big impact on individuals, families, and entire communities around the nation and in forty countries around the globe. Simply by pedaling the path to prevention, you can make a difference in the fight against cancer.
Help us bring our message to millions by signing up to enjoy an unforgettable day on the bike Sunday, June 9 in Traverse City, Michigan.
After the ride, we’ll have live music at The Workshop in Traverse City with 100% of donations going to Less Cancer. Sunday’s ride will start together, with riders peeling off for their preferred distances. Expect great food stops and a number of supporting business and coffee shops with delicious goodies and treats to keep you fueled for a big day on the bike. You’ll want to save a little energy for the, a part of the Cowell Cancer Center’s annual weekend to honor cancer survivors and the heroes who help heal.

The Next Generation Choices Foundation, also known as Less Cancer, is an American nonprofit organization (501(c)(3)) founded by Bill Couzens in 2004 to educate the public about cancer prevention through digital media and community-supported programming. Less Cancer seeks to make risk reduction and prevention vital parts of cancer cures. The organization's goal is to increase public awareness about cancer prevention, including sharing information about environment- and food-based causes of cancer. They also provide information on risk-reduction strategies; changing community or corporate practices and products; and sharing information about healthy lifestyle choices.
