Hoboken Rider Participates in third Great Cycle Challenge USA

HOBOKEN, NJ - August 15, 2024 - Domenico Cirilli, a resident of Hoboken, is planning to ride 2,500 miles and raise $2,500 during the month of September for Children’s Cancer Research Fund (CCRF) in support of its 10th annual Great Cycle Challenge USA.
Founded in 2015, Great Cycle Challenge USA has grown to become one of the biggest cycling events in the country. In just nine years, over 500,000 riders from 50 states have ridden 33.8 million miles, raising more than $73 million for research and the development of better treatments and cures for childhood cancer. This year, CCRF hopes over 30,000 riders will help raise more than $9 million.
“Over 15,000 American children are diagnosed with cancer every year and, sadly, 38 children die every week,” said Kenna Dooley, Chief Development Officer at Children’s Cancer Research Fund. “Thanks to riders like Domenico, we’re fueling groundbreaking research to save lives and give kids the brighter future they deserve.”
“This is the third time I have participated in Great Cycle Challenge,” said Domenico Cirilli. “During those years, I rode 2,263 miles and raised $1,886. This year, I am aiming to raise $2,500 and ride 2,500 miles.”
Funds go to support research at leading pediatric cancer centers across America.
