About Us

  Team Will is a community of cyclists of all levels and ages committed to raising public awareness and funds for childhood cancer research through a mixture of cycling activities and events. Team Will's mission focuses on providing a coherent, credible voice to educate society about childhood cancer. We achieve this by working with cycling communities and interested individuals.

How It Began

  Team Will started in Sacramento, California in 2005 by a group of cyclists. They wanted to impact their community by advancing the causes of local and national charities through cycling and related activities while promoting health and safety through education and training. While focusing on providing a coherent, credible voice to educate society about various children's charities, Team Will also improves the quality of life for children and their families by educating and encouraging communities to get involved. Funds are raised each season for local and/or national charities. Team Will is growing in success because of its unique partnership between various cycling communities and other interested individuals.

History of Success

  The 2006 Ride to Reach the Day was a coast-to-coast bicycle event raising awareness and funds for childhood cancer research. The inaugural cross country relay ride crossed 11 states and included connections at seven state capitols and 15 major cities with events, rallies and hospital visits along the route. Through Ride to Reach the Day 2006, Team Will raised over $60,000 for childhood cancer research. The 2008 Ride to Reach the Day was just as successful. Team Will crossed 13 states in 10 days and arrived in Washington DC to help lobby for a Bill to allocate funds for Childhood Cancer Research.

Senate Resolution 1156

In August of 2009, The California Senate drafted a Resolution (Senate Resolution 1156) that supports the eradication of childhood cancer through Team Will’s efforts to bring awareness and funding toward childhood cancer research and the support of the child’s family.
