4,000 Miles, 77 days, 13 RIDERS

As you read this, the 2026 Team is pedaling away, making countless memories, and connecting with cancer survivors, patients, and caretakers across the country. Keep up with them through Illini 4000’s website and social media — updated daily.

OUR MISSION

Illini 4000 is a nonprofit dedicated to fighting cancer through tangible action. Each year, members bike across the country to raise funds for cancer research and patient support services — along the way, they document the American cancer experience through an initiative called the Portraits Project, sharing the stories of those touched by the disease.
