Merrick Chiropractor Joins Livestrong Biking Team

Dr. Fred Jones of Sunrise Chiropractic & Wellness has joined the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s (LAF) fight against cancer by participating in the Team Livestrong Challenge event in Davis, California on June 24.

Jones will ride more than 65 miles in support of the organization. “I am proud to join thousands of other Team Livestrong athletes across the country who are raising funds and awareness for the LAF,” Jones said. “Together, we are helping people with cancer live life on their own terms.”

Jones will also be raising money towards the cause. The funds raised will allow Livestrong to give survivors the services, information and direct support they need and 100 percent of what is raised will go directly to these efforts.

In addition to the Team Livestrong Challenge, Jones previously participated in other rides, including the Northeast AIDS Ride, The 9/11 Memorial Ride and the Amateur Tour de France.  

Since its inception in 1997, the Lance Armstrong Foundation has raised more than $325 million to support its mission to inspire and empower people affected by cancer. They have provided financial resources to more than 550 organizations that conduct cancer survivorship research or offer services to people affected by cancer.
