About Pedal for a Purpose 2026
Let's break a sweat together for a cause that matters!
Get ready for the 4th annual Pedal for a Purpose! This year, we’re raising the bar in the fight against cancer. Participants will ride on stationary bikes, building momentum and energy to raise critical funds for the Lee Health Cancer Institute. Your support helps expand access to vital programs and services for patients and families right here in Southwest Florida.
Donations directly fuel efforts such as:
Free Cancer Support Communities
Nurse navigation and patient advocacy
Access to prosthetics and wellness resources
Investment in clinical research and advanced technology
Last year, our incredible Pedal for a Purpose community raised $55,505—a powerful testament to what we can do together. This year, we're aiming even higher with a $75,000 goal to keep that impact growing and ensure patients continue to receive compassionate, comprehensive care.
Join us on the ride! Saddle up and be part of the movement. Your sweat fuels progress, healing, and hope. Together, we’ll honor strength, uplift one another, and pedal toward a healthier future for all.
Registration opens on October 27, 2025. Check out our sponsorship opportunities in the meantime!

How it Works
Pedal for a Purpose is an exciting 4-hour pedal-a-thon that challenges teams to go the distance.
Teams of 6-8 riders keep their stationary bike in constant motion throughout the event, with members taking turns and switching out as needed. Riders have the flexibility to contribute as little or as much as they can to their team's effort.
Miles matter! Every 15 minutes, mileage is tracked and displayed on a leaderboard. At the end of the night, winning teams are announced in three categories: Co-ed, Male, and Female, based on the greatest distance traveled.
Why Pedal?
When you ride in Pedal for a Purpose, you stand with real people in our community who have faced cancer with strength, resilience, and hope.
People like Molly Grubbs.
Diagnosed with breast cancer, Molly underwent chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and radiation. She navigated it all while caring for her family. With the support of her care team at Lee Health Cancer Institute, Molly found the strength to keep moving forward.
Now cancer-free, Molly is giving back. As a member of the Pedal for a Purpose planning committee, she helps champion the very programs that supported her healing, bringing that same hope to others facing their own cancer journeys.
This is why we pedal. To honor survivors. To uplift patients. To ensure no one walks, or rides, alone.
Pedal for purpose. Pedal for progress. Pedal for people like Molly. Join us and make every mile matter.
