Team Italy hasn't added a story.
About the 2019 Country 2 Country 4 Cancer Ride
After the great success of the last three editions of the
European Country 2 Country 4 Cancer ride,
Bristol-Myers Squibb
employees from across Europe will again ride over 3’600 km from
Germany to the UK. Along the way, they will ride through
Switzerland, Italy, France and Spain, all to raise funds for cancer
research and organisations that support cancer patients in Europe.
Each of the organisations benefiting are members of the Union for
International Cancer Control.
In this 4th edition of the ride starting on 9 September 2019 and
lasting 18 days, over 80 European
Bristol-Myers Squibb
team members will be riding in 6 different country teams and
each group will be performing a leg of the ride averaging 720 km in
3 days.
Raising funds for the Associazione italiana malati di cancro,
parenti e amici (AIMAC)
Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. Each year,
there are 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million
cancer-related deaths worldwide, and these numbers are growing.
This is why the Team Italy – riding 720km across Italy and France –
has chosen to support the
Associazione italiana malati di cancro, parenti e
amici (AIMAC) in its mission to promote and support research,
improve patients and their families’ quality of life.
Encourage your colleagues, families and friends to donate, as cancer
affects us all.
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 the Associazione italiana malati di cancro, parenti e
amici (AIMAC), a member of the Union for International Cancer Control.
