The Ride for Life connects three worlds: Bike rides that bring hope to the streets. Resonating spaces where those affected and their families can find strength. And a solidarity festival with live music and an exuberant atmosphere: Life pulsates.
Together we write new life stories - full of life, hope and courage. Full of the joy of being there.
Whether on our bikes, supporting people with cancer, or raising funds: together, we made a difference!
An extraordinary day that set so many things in motion. Here are some of the best moments to remember.
Over 4.2 million francs of hope
Since 2010, together we have raised over 4.2 million francs for people with cancer. flow to our partner organizations, which provide help where it is most urgently needed: In research that makes a cure possible. In studies that improve therapies. In the support of children and families. And in exchanges that support survivors.
From the study to life
Tomorrow's therapies are tested here today. Independent, scientifically excellent, directly on people. So that patients get better chances faster.
Where courage meets science
Innovative research needs courage - for unconventional approaches, for young researchers, for ideas that could one day defeat cancer. The Swiss Cancer Foundation makes exactly that possible.
Where relief is given space
Allani gives children and young people with a life-limiting or life-threatening illness and their families time to take a deep breath. In a protected, natural environment, allani combines professional care with individual support.
The Ride for Life Association is the organizational and conceptual home of the project.
Founded to provide long-term support for people with cancer and their families - through encounters, solidarity and shared commitment.
What we want:
Every year, 48,000 people in Switzerland are diagnosed with cancer. This turns their whole life upside down. Together with our partner organizations, we ensure that those affected and those around them are not left alone.
The Ride for Life is committed to this important cause. The focus is on direct support for people with cancer and the joy of life.
