It’s Not a Ride; It’s a Movement
The CT Challenge Charity Bike Event is on July 27, 2024…join us for the best day of the summer
Presenting Mission’s marquee charity fundraising event — the annual CT Challenge Bike Ride, hosted each summer in late July.
It’s your annual chance to have a blast while fundraising in support of Mission’s game-changing programs for cancer survivors. No wonder so many riders call it the best day of the summer!
There are five great routes (from an easy 10 to a challenging century), outstanding food, drinks, fun and games, and a lineup of live bands to rival the Coachella music festival.
To learn more about the Ride, go to bike.ctchallenge.org.
Inspire. Elevate.
Equip. Activate.
We believe in setting the bar high, especially for cancer survivors. Those who face cancer are no soft crew. They’re resilient, determined and want to get back to life on their terms, with humor, authenticity and defiance. That’s why we believe that if you give survivors the right tools and mindset, they can get there – whatever their “there” may be.
Through Mission, we’re giving them those tools. It’s important because it works. Research shows that cancer recurrence can be reduced through our programs.
Join The Movement.
We map their journey through training, education and community, so survivors can achieve a life-changing physical and emotional recovery.

If there’s anyone who can put a woman in the hallway that leads to the stage and a handshake with the NFL commissioner on draft day, it’s her. Her motto: Be so good, they can’t ignore you.
