Raise Awareness
Many people are unaware of Multiple Myeloma, its symptoms, and the importance of early detection. Public awareness campaigns are essential to educate communities.
Ride for a Reason, Pedal for a Purpose
Why We Ride
We’re not just biking across the country; we’re riding for Chris, a dear friend who’s been diagnosed with advanced Multiple Myeloma. This disease has turned his life upside down, affecting his family, finances, and future.
Chris's story isn’t unique—tens of thousands of Americans face this same battle each year. Through this ride, we aim to raise awareness and funds to support people like Chris and countless others who are fighting for their lives.
Our Mission
Wheeling for Healing exists to support those impacted by Multiple Myeloma through research, financial assistance, and awareness. What started as a way to support Chris has grown into a nationwide effort to help others, raise money, and ultimately, find a cure.
