At Ridin’ 4 A Cure, our mission is to create a powerful movement that saves lives by meeting the needs of local cancer fighters. Ridin’ 4 A Cure is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered in West Virginia. We focus on prevention, early detection, and comprehensive care so every fighter has the tools, the self-esteem, and the confidence to tackle each day and overcome this devastating disease.
Create a movement that saves lives by meeting the needs of local cancer fighters, through prevention, early detection, and comprehensive care that gives every fighter the confidence to face each day.
A future where Mercer County and the surrounding area set the standard in West Virginia for the lowest cancer rates, built on targeted prevention, education partnerships, and community outreach.
Equip cancer fighters and their caregivers with the resources they need to win, so every individual has the support, the care, and the hope required to face this challenge head-on.
We teamed up with the Princeton Rescue Squad to offer dedicated cancer transportation from Welch, North Fork, and Bluewell, completely free of charge. No one should have to worry about how they will get to treatment.
A haven where women battling cancer receive high-quality wigs at minimal to no cost. Losing hair to radiation or chemotherapy is one of the hardest parts of treatment, and dignity matters through all of it.
We work with the Mercer County Health Board on processes for early detection. One in two women will be diagnosed with cancer in her lifetime, and one in eight will face breast cancer specifically.
Free rides to treatment for local cancer patients, operated with the Princeton Rescue Squad.
A women’s health initiative with the Blue Prince Family Health focused on streamlining early detection.
High-quality wigs at minimal to no cost for women going through radiation and chemotherapy treatment.
At Ridin’ 4 A Cure we believe in making a tangible difference in the lives of people in our own community. This event is how we do it, and how we make sure no one fights alone. But we cannot do it without you.
This event and the change it creates are made possible by our volunteers, the generosity of our sponsors, and donations from people like you. Together we can build a future where cancer is a challenge we face as a community.
