Let's Go the Distance Against Cancer!

Cancer has touched the lives of us all. Yet, it is with optimism that I firmly believe in the power of our collective efforts to bring about a better, brighter future for those affected by this disease. During the week of May 14, I will bike 125+ miles to raise funds for life-saving cancer research. Please support me by making a donation that is meaningful to you. 100% of your donation goes to our mission and every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference in the lives of those fighting cancer. Together, let's create miracles of hope and healing. Thank you for your generosity!

My Updates

Final Day | Final Push

Tuesday 21st May
Inspired by our amazing Executive Director Frank Heavey who has been going the distance by working all week and running every night in the dark in the fight against cancer, I decided for one last ride this morning, adding 30 bonus  miles to my distance traveled in the 2024 EMF Distance Challenge. 

DAY SEVEN

Monday 20th May
Proud to have biked 30 miles to surpass my distance goal during this morning's ride. Pedaling for the purpose of raising money for cancer research and young adult cancer survivors has been an amazing experience. I am so grateful to all the donors who supported me as Captain of Team Manion! 

DAY FIVE

Saturday 18th May
Today I am away from my bike, and had to improvise from biking to rowing machine. I traveled 10,000 meters in 58 minutes and 53 seconds - this translates into 6 miles! 

DAY FOUR

Friday 17th May
For today's ride I listened to podcasts instead of music. Highly recommend Wiser Than Me, with host Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Guest was Anne Lamont. https://lemonadamedia.com/show/wiser-than-me-with-julia-louis-dreyfus/

DAY THREE: Double Donation Day!

Thursday 16th May
Today is Double Donation Day for Expect Miracles Foundation - Financial Services Against Cancer 2024 EMF Distance Challenge, and I'm biking a distance of 125 miles this week to raise money for life-saving cancer research. Every online donation made TODAY May 16 will be MATCHED up to $100,000! Please help me DOUBLE our impact in support of the cancer community. I invite you to visit my fundraising page and click DONATE to make your contribution count twice. Thanks enormously!

DAY ONE

Tuesday 14th May

I'm excited to share that I've kicked off my Distance Challenge with a strong start today, biking 25 miles out of my 125-mile goal for cancer research! 🚴‍♂️ Every pedal stroke today was fueled by the incredible support from all of you and the drive to make a difference in the fight against cancer.

I will be away in May during the challenge, so I will not be able to participate in a bike ride like I did last year. Instead I am making this donation to you. Best to you!
