Connor's Army is going coast-to-coast!
With three of his five siblings and his mother battling cancer, Gene knew he had to do something to help.
So in 2007 he made a commitment to cycle 2,000 miles to raise $10,000 for the American Cancer Society as it pursues its mission to eliminate cancer.
He exceeded both his goals - riding 2154 miles and raising almost $12,000.
Now he's planning to hit the road again ... all 3,000 miles of it between California and New York! With a fundraising goal of $50,000, he's dedicated himself to doing everything he can to win the war against cancer.
Everyone's life has been touched by cancer in both distant and far-too-close ways, but now there's a way to fight back.
Make a pledge today.
Enlist in Connor's Army and help us win the war against cancer.
