Statement of Purpose
The RCDCU Annual Bike-a-Thon “Bike to Fight Prostate Cancer” is a fun filled event for the whole family, and support of a great cause.
The purpose for the RCDCU Bike-a-Thon is to raise money to increase the awareness of Prostate Cancer highlighting the importance of early detection.
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death affecting 1 in 6 men, with African American men 60% more likely to develop prostate cancer compared to Caucasian men and nearly 2.5 times likely to die from this type of cancer.
Renaissance Cyclists Defeating Cancer United is committed to increasing the awareness of prostate cancer and the effect it has on men, their families and the community.
