About the 2026 C24C Ride
The 2026 edition of the C2C4C Europe ride will feature more than 95 Bristol Myers Squibb employees riding in Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain and the United Kingdom, for nearly 2,200 kilometers from 4-21 September.
The 18-day event involves six teams each cycling a three-day segment. This year, BMS celebrates 13 years of C2C4C and riding for patients, a tradition that launched with the inaugural event taking place in the United States in 2014. Since 2016, Bristol Myers Squibb employees in Europe have raised more than USD 4.3 million through the C2C4C ride.
In this 2026 edition, the six teams will feature riders from 19 countries including Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States. The mission of C2C4C is to raise awareness for cancer research and European cancer organisations who are UICC members.
Raising Funds for Asociatia Med San
Med SAN Association is a Romanian non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting health and preventing chronic diseases, including cancer. It conducts awareness and education campaigns targeting the general public, along with screening programmes focused on early cancer detection, particularly in vulnerable or hard-to-reach communities. Through partnerships with local authorities, healthcare professionals, and other NGOs, Med SAN strives to improve access to preventive healthcare services and reduce health inequalities. Its activities contribute to cancer control through education, prevention, and early diagnosis.
Who Are the Riders
The participants are novice riders, who have committed themselves to 5 months of intensive training to complete their portion of the ride. Some are cancer survivors, others have witnessed the devastating impact of cancer on friends and family. Their kilometers will help raise funds to fight against cancer by supporting Asociatia Med San, a member of the Union for International Cancer Control.
Let’s come together to support the Romanian team — Mălina, Roxana, Alina, Bogdan, and Ovidiu — as they pedal with purpose in the fight against cancer.
Mălina - The force
Roxana - The Girl with the books, that you can always lose in a bookstore for hours.
Alina - The Dragoness
Bogdan - The Funny Guy who always has a joke coming !
Ovidiu - The business oriented man with a twist of explorer & the bodyguard - no man left behind !
Every kilometer they ride is powered by hope, and every contribution brings us closer to making a difference.
Join their journey and support Med San — your donation can help turn their effort into real impact for patients.
