Bikers Battling Cancer 2021 Ride for HOPE will raise money for the West Central Georgia Cancer Coalition, a 501c3 organization located in Columbus, Georgia that assists individuals and families with cancer in West Georgia and East Alabama with expenses through their Neighbors Helping Neighbors Fund.
All money raised by BBC goes directly to the WCGCC. None goes to meet the expenses of the rider(s).
Pilgrimage for those with Cancer
This year’s ride will have a distinctively religious aspect. The word “pilgrimage” is a journey that has a religious component or purpose. While I always prayed for those with cancer as I rode, this year I will be doing specific things to make this a pilgrimage focused on praying for those with cancer.
What do You mean by Pilgrimage?
This year’s ride will have a distinctively religious aspect. The word “pilgrimage” is a journey that has a religious component or purpose. While I always prayed for those with cancer as I rode, this year I will be doing specific things to make this a pilgrimage focused on praying for those with cancer.
- I will go to mass or stop in at a church to spend time in prayer every day.
- I will not be using any type of radio or entertainment device while I ride to allow me to focus on the purpose of the ride.
- I will be posting each day about my reflections from the day. Not a diary of the ride and the places, but my personal experiences.
- Finally, my course through the United States this year will make a cross over the lower 48. The center of that cross is the geographic center of the lower 48 just north of Lebanon, KS. There is a small chapel there where I will return after completing each arm of the cross.
What is Neighbors Helping Neighbors?
NHN is a fund that assists those with cancer and their families in meeting their day to day expenses, such as electric bills, rent, gas to get to treatment sessions, etc. Cancer treatment can be hard and difficult. This allows cancer patients and their families to focus on treatment without concerns regarding daily expenses. You can read more about NHN here.
