5 Distances, 9 Routes, One Mission: Funding cancer prevention research, resources and patient support

The Pan-Florida Challenge Cancer Bike Ride is a fundraising initiative that takes place annually in March to support cancer prevention research at Moffitt Cancer Center, patients, and hungry children throughout the state of Florida, as malnutrition has been shown to increase the risk of cancer.

The next ride will take place on Saturday, March 26, 2022 to Sunday, March 27, 2022. It will feature nine routes with start lines in both Tampa, Florida and Fort Myers, Florida. Learn More

"My wife’s father passed away from cancer and two of my close friends recently lost their battle with cancer. It made me realize we must step up our efforts to find a cure for this horrible disease. (...) What makes riding with the Pan-Florida Challenge worthwhile is the satisfaction of doing something I love while also helping others in need. This will be my fourth year riding. I’m at a point in my life where I can give back, and it feels really good to help others."

Craig Manchen

"The hook of cancer is always with me and a part of me. My mother died of colon cancer; I had an uncle that died of brain cancer; my mother’s brother died of leukemia. When I do this ride I think of my family and those that I’ve lost. I’m doing it in part for them because I’m here, I can do it, and I enjoy it. So it’s a way for me to acknowledge and remember them."

Robert Vigorito

"The Pan-Florida Challenge Cancer Ride resonates with me because so many people have been affected by a cancer diagnosis; whether it was themselves, a loved one, a friend, a neighbor. No matter the outcome, good or bad, it is a major life event for everyone involved."
