Ride bikes, help local kids with cancer …

Registration for the 9th Annual Great Big Group Ride (GBGR), presented by Frank Armetta State Farm, is now open! Join us for a wonderful (but challenging) group ride that benefits local kids with cancer!

GBGR is a fun but challenging way for you to support the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley (PCFLV). This event features a Metric Century and a Metric Half Century. Every participant who registers by July 1st is guaranteed an event t-shirt! If you do not register by July 1st, you are not guaranteed a shirt, but we may have some available at the event.

And, new this year, all participants will receive a GBGR medal at the post-ride check-in table!!

Funds raised at Great Big Group Ride help PCFLV to support local pediatric cancer warriors and their families through financial, social and emotional support and programming.

Both the metric century and metric half century rides contain in-ride challenges, contests and prizes.

Be sure to arrive before your event's start time to enjoy free coffee and bagels and purchase raffle tickets. And stick around after you complete your ride to enjoy a gourmet cook-out generously donated by our friends at Whitehall Diner and Fitness Central.

WHAT PCFLV DOES FOR FAMILIES

"The Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley is dedicated to supporting quality-of-life for children diagnosed with cancer in the Greater Lehigh Valley and their families, as well as long-term survivorship and bereavement programs. All of our programming and events are offered at no cost to these families. We believe that a pediatric cancer diagnosis affects the WHOLE family, and our mission reflects that belief. We also believe that a family's experience with childhood cancer does not end when treatment ends. Because of that, PCFLV follows a continuum of care model, hoping to be a friend to families from the date their child is diagnosed forever forward.

If you or someone you know has a child diagnosed with cancer, is a survivor of pediatric cancer, or has lost a child to cancer, we encourage you to reach out to us and allow us to be part of your journey through the programming, events, and support we offer!"
