Please join my wife June and me in supporting LessCancer.org. We are proud to be a part of this inspiring event where both survivors and supporters from our community come together to share the weekend with a common cause… LESS CANCER.
Last weekend we lost my father, a great man, to Leukemia. This year we ride in his memory. Soon, a Strava segment, "Going to see Sparky" will be created. It will pass by his home off Center Road on Old Mission Peninsula and to his final resting place at St. Joseph's Cemetary. When you ride and see this segment, please think of him and all the others who have succumbed to this horrible disease.
Your registration fee goes straight to Less Cancer, and you can also ask friends and family members to donate to the cause as well. Our goal is to raise money and raise awareness to make real change in the cancer community and make prevention a priority.
Thank you for your support. And F Cancer!

Where Your Donation Goes?
Less Cancer develops educational tools to advance and secure public health addressing increased incidences of cancer.
Next Generation Choices Foundation (NGCF or Less Cancer), lesscancer.org, promotes a prevention paradigm for addressing this alarming trend and raises awareness of cancer prevention to make risk reduction and prevention a vital part of the cancer paradigm. This is a departure from previous treatment-focused approaches that talked about beating, conquering, or curing cancer. Many cancers are preventable by reducing risk factors, such as lead corrosion in water supply and infrastructure, use of tobacco products, ultraviolet light exposure, asbestos exposure, specific contaminants, and pollution sources, and promoting healthy lifestyle choices, such as diet, exercise, and nutrition.

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.
