Join CHD’s Cancer House of Hope “Bikes Fight Cancer” Team

Wouldn’t it be great if fighting cancer was as easy as riding a bike? What if someone told you…it can be! The CHD Cancer House of Hope (CHH) has again partnered up with Bikes Fight Cancer for their charity bike ride, which raises funds for families struggling with cancer diagnoses, as well as for treatment programs and cancer research. Proceeds from the event will be returned to our community by funding the Cancer House of Hope and other programs in the area.

The event will take place on Saturday, June 14, at Tree House Brewing in South Deerfield. Riders can choose between 25- and 50-mile routes that snake through some of the most scenic focal points in western Massachusetts. Children are welcome to attend as well, taking a special route around the Tree House Brewing property (accompanied by a parent). Everyone is welcome to enjoy the food trucks, water stops, and beverages from Tree House.

Join CHH Program Director Margaret Toomey’s Fundraising Team (pictured)! They raised $5,000 last year and hope to raise $10,000 this year. (In 2024, Bikes Fight Cancer presented CHH with a $35,151 check from funds raised in the ride last June!) 100 percent of the donations collected by Team Cancer House of Hope riders will go directly to CHH.

Those who register before Saturday, February 1, at 1:00 a.m. will enjoy a discounted registration fee ($50). Each month before the race, the registration fee will increase by $10. The last day to register will be June 8, with June registration fees reaching $100 per rider. Registered riders will also receive an exclusive Bikes Fight Cancer pint glass, food truck lunch, and a house beverage. Those who raise $100 will receive a free Bikes Fight Cancer shirt!

Riders taking the 25-mile route will begin at 9:00 a.m., while those on the 50-mile route will start at 8:00 a.m. Volunteers (greeters, parking, and road support) are always sought-after too. There you’ll also find more information regarding fundraising support and sponsors.

We hope you’ll consider supporting this incredible event which serves to benefit the CHD’s Cancer House of Hope and related programs making a difference in our community.
