Ed Bracey, the father of Eddie Bracey III, is encouraging everyone to help him raise money for children’s cancer research through the Great Cycle Challenge. This challenge is simple and a great way to bring awareness to cancer. It involves setting your own bike riding challenge anywhere across the United States and striving to meet it. They welcome all ages and fitness groups to join them. You simply set yourself a goal, challenge yourself to reach it, and log your miles on the Great Cycle Challenge USA app. Bracey will be participating this June.
After losing his son, Eddie Bracey III, to childhood cancer, Bracey is more passionate than ever for this campaign. Bracey says “Kids should be living life, not fighting for it”. He wants his optimistic attitude and motivational drive to inspire others in helping support the cause.
The funds he raises will go to help the Children’s Cancer Research Fund in finding a cure for childhood cancer. Bracey wants nothing more than for his son’s memory to live on. By participating, he hopes to not only make a difference but to encourage the recognition of his son and the battle he went through.

About
Great Cycle Challenge started in 2015, and after just 2 years, the event has grown to become one of the biggest cycling events in the United States. People of all ages, abilities and from every state across the country set themselves a personal riding goal and challenge themselves to pedal throughout June to fight kids’ cancer. In 2 years, our community of 39,284 riders from all 50 states have ridden a total of 3,397,199 miles, and together we’ve raised $4,717,515 in support of research to develop better treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Why? Because over 15,700 American children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and sadly, 38 children die every week. We’re riding to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve, and we believe that any one individual can make their personal impact to fight cancer and save little lives. So we’re calling on all Americans to get on their bikes this June and join our movement to kick cancer’s butt! Great Cycle Challenge USA is a national Children’s Cancer Research Fund (CCRF) fundraising initiative held throughout June.
