  :: Our Mission    
     
 


While riding across the country, the Illini 4000 Bike America Team interviews cancer patients and survivors from all walks of life.  We believe that everyone has a story to tell; from the truck driver in New York City to the Wheat farmer in Colorado, everyone has a story tell.  The purpose of this project is to illustrate cancer’s influence on American life, and how individuals respond to cancer according to their religious beliefs, location and socioeconomic status.  Since 2007, the Illini 4000 riders have recorded the stories of over 20 cancer patients and survivors.
