Cycle for Survival is a national indoor team cycling event at Equinox gyms in New York City, Long Island, Chicago, Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Founded in 2007 by rare cancer patient Jennifer Goodman Linn, Cycle is one of the world’s fastest growing athletic fundraising events. In just five years, the event has raised more than $9 million, with 100% of every dollar raised going directly to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to fund the most promising rare cancer research initiatives that would otherwise receive little attention or government funding. To date, Cycle has funded 25 clinical trials and research studies, paving the way for significant advancements, more effective treatment options and renewed hope for the millions of lives affected by rare cancers worldwide.
