About the Continent 2 Continent 4 Cancer Race
From December 2-13, Bristol Myers Squibb employees will take part in the 'Continent 2 Continent 4 Cancer' (C2C4C) event, riding almost 1,500 km in Chile. Their goal is to raise funds for UICC member cancer organizations in Latin America. The cyclists have been training for 5 months and are cycling for their loved ones affected by cancer. Since 2022, more than $125,000 has been donated to charities in Latin America through the C2C4C race.
The inaugural C2C4C was held ten years ago in the United States under the name “Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer.” Cyclists from Europe joined the effort in 2016 for “Country 2 Country 4 Cancer,” Japan in 2021, and Latin America in 2022 for “Continent 2 Continent 4 Cancer.”
C2C4C has become an established tradition and milestone occasion at Bristol Myers Squibb, with more than $14 million donated worldwide to cancer research to date.
Who are the cyclists?
Participants in the C2C4C challenge in Latin America are beginner cyclists who have committed to five months of intensive training to complete their part of the race.
This year, more than 55 employees are cycling in Latin America, and their motivation to participate and advance cancer research is personal. Some are cycling in honor of those who have lost their lives to cancer or are currently fighting the disease. Others have suffered a cancer diagnosis themselves.
This year, the route will be more diverse and inclusive than ever, with employees from seven countries taking part: Puerto Rico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico. Together, their kilometers will create more memories for cancer patients and their loved ones.
Puerto Rico will have 9 riders from Guaynabo and Manati sites: Alexis Matos, Angelica Borrero, Angie Garcia, Gretchen Velez, Isha Fuentes , Ismar Perez, Jose Molina, Margaret Lopez and Maria Sanchez, that will be training for 5 months to complete a route of more than 200 miles in 3 days from Puerto Varas to Pucon, Chile. Simultaneously, Puerto Rico team will be raising funds for the Sociedad Americana Contra El Cancer de Puerto Rico. For the first time in the history of the event, local funds will stay in the island.
Why raise funds for cancer organizations
Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. Every year, there are 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million cancer-related deaths worldwide, and these numbers are increasing.
This is why Bristol Myers Squibb has chosen to support UICC and its members in their mission to reduce the global burden of cancer and integrate cancer control into the global health and development agenda.
Encourage your colleagues, family and friends to donate, as cancer affects us all. Each team assembles and raises funds for UICC members.
