Beyond Gravel is a charity gravel ride dedicated to supporting two incredible organizations: METAvivor and Runway for Recovery. These nonprofits provide essential support to families impacted by metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and fund research for MBC.

How You Can Help:
As this is a fundraiser, the entry fee is kept low to cover only essential costs (e.g., bathrooms). Instead, I ask participants to make a donation of any amount they see fit. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to METAvivor or Runway for Recovery. While the recommended donation is $100, every contribution—big or small—makes a difference in supporting families and advancing critical research.

***Please donate to METAVivor using the donation link found in BikeReg and Runway for Recovery using this link or QR code. These donations are tax deductible and may be matched by your employer!***

Metastatic breast cancer is a stage of breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body. Unlike early-stage breast cancer, MBC remains incurable, and those living with it face unique challenges, including limited treatment options and reduced funding for research. Organizations like METAvivor are critical in this space, as they are the only nonprofit funding peer-reviewed research specifically for metastatic breast cancer.

This ride is personal. My sister, Katie, passed away on December 13, 2024, at the age of 39 after being diagnosed with MBC in 2019. Katie was a devoted mother, cherished partner, loving teacher, artist, and adventurer. Her greatest joy in life was being a mom to her two sons, sharing in their passions and adventures. During Katie’s five-year battle with cancer, nonprofits like Runway for Recovery provided vital support—not just for Katie, but for her family. They offered meals, after-school activities, summer camps, and childcare, helping her boys make meaningful memories with her and allowing them to continue being kids during an incredibly challenging time.
