Less Cancer is proud to host the 2023 Hike and Bike America!

A program to help get and keep America moving!

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Only half of adults get the physical activity they need to help reduce and prevent chronic diseases.”

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) shares that, “Although there are fewer studies of sedentary behavior and cancer risk than of physical activity and cancer risk, sedentary behavior—sitting, reclining, or lying down for extended periods of time (other than sleeping)—is a risk factor for developing many chronic conditions and premature death. It may also be associated with increased risk for certain cancers.”

Whether you register as an individual, or create a team of neighbors, colleagues, family, or friends, your commitment to a daily walk or a weekly ride will help support the critical work of preventing cancer. Make it what you want! And when you register, be sure to share your mileage goal for the month in your bio so everyone can follow your progress.

Cancer touches all of us, and we all need to come together and fight for each other.

I hope you will join me in the effort to prevent cancer, and even have some fun and make a few wonderful memories along the way!
