The 5th Rally Bike Ride took place from May 22 to June 12, 2012. As soon as they graduate from the University of Georgia in May, Luke Mosley and Zach Jones hopped on their bikes and cycled nearly 1,400 miles through the eastern United States visiting hospitals and raising awareness and funds for childhood cancer research in support of Rally's mission of empowering volunteers to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research.
Rally Bike Ride is an amateur cycling tour that has traveled throughout the country to raise funds and awareness for the Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research. In past years, Rally Bike Ride teams have cycled more than 8,000 miles to visit children with cancer at 30 hospitals in 27 cities. Rally Bike Ride teams and supporters have raised over $217,000 through donations and more than 30 fundraisers. With your help, we hope to raise over $50,000 to support Rally's mission of finding better childhood cancer treatments with fewer long-term side effects, and ultimately, cures.Every school day in America, two classrooms of children, about 46 kids, are diagnosed with cancer. Cancer is the #1 disease killer of kids ages 0-15 in the United States.
