2008 is your year to Join the Challenge!

This is your year to:

  • get on a bike and show the cancer survivor(s) in your life how much you care
  • change lives - yours and millions more
  • set goals for fitness and fundraising and actually surpass them
  • recruit a team and motivate it toward a common goal
  • take a day trip through the incredibly beautiful Connecticut countryside...by bike
  • learn the meaning of "fun with a purpose" as you cycle, party and celebrate with fellow riders

No matter what your age or cycling skill, 2008 is your year to ride in the Connecticut Challenge - for yourself, for the cancer survivors in your life and for the 10million survivors across the United States. Cancer survivors are survivors for life and, increasingly, research is showing they are susceptible to long-term medical and psychological effects from their disease and the treatments they received. They've beaten the disease. Let's help them beat the cure!

The money raised by Connecticut Challenge riders and volunteers is will expand the onsite, web-based and research programs of the CT Challenge Adult Survivorship Clinic and the HERO'S Clinic for survivors of childhood cancers at Yale Cancer Center.

Ready to sign up? Do it now, right here and enjoy a $25 discount on your registration fee before April 1st. Then start recruiting friends to join you.

Have questions? Scour this website - the answers are here somewhere - or just email your questions to us.

This is your year. Join the Challenge!
