2023 Fundraisers Ride Inspired
The Alpine Loop Gran Fondo has a multi-faceted charitable mission, a major component of which is through partnership with the Cancer Journeys Foundation Prostate Cancer Awareness Project. Each year, participants are invited to join in the optional fundraising efforts in support of this mission; and each year fundraising riders show up with amazing dedication, purposeful goals, and inspired leadership. Every year we say it, and every year we mean it with renewed awe: these fundraising participants are amazing!
2023 fundraisers are rallying contributions through September 25. Their stories and fundraising pages are featured at PledgeReg.com where everyone is invited to share in their inspiration.
The Prostate Cancer Awareness Project aims to significantly increase prostate cancer survivorship by dramatically increasing the rate of early detection, with the objective that that no man experiences a surprise, post-metastasis prostate cancer diagnosis.
As the presenting sponsor of the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo, Cancer Journeys Foundation shows its dedication to cancer survivorship, raising awareness about prostate cancer screening and early detection, and encouraging healthy lifestyle choices. The organization hosts the annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Project Mountains and Sprint Contests, awarding winners jerseys to age group and overall champions in a variety of categories.
Cancer Journeys Foundation CEO Robert Hess emphasizes how important events like the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo are for the mission of prostate cancer awareness. “The conversations you have with the men in your life, in your social groups, about prostate cancer, and taking an annual test; that’s incredibly valuable to what The Prostate Cancer Awareness Project is trying to accomplish.”
Through partnership with the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo, The Prostate Cancer Awareness Project has funded and maintained ProstateTracker.org a free and anonymous PSA tracking tool. Every participant and additional fundraiser has shared in this effort and are invited to use and share ProtateTracker.org with all the men in their lives.
