Aimed to Help Esophageal Cancer Patients

Mount Cancer Cure Campaign is a remarkable cycling fundraiser that is meant to raise donations for esophageal cancer patients. Our campaign was initiated by Amanda Andersen, a caring sister who wishes to help her brother, Bill, in battling with this disease. By cycling through the Central Midwest, she seeks to promote public awareness of this illness that can happen to anybody at any time. Read on to discover how our cycling fundraiser came to be.

The Story of Our Cycling Fundraiser

Column

“My loving, sensitive, generous, kind, and compassionate baby brother, Bill, is in the fight of his life. In August 2019, he was diagnosed with stage III esophageal adenocarcinoma (ECA). The average age of diagnosis for this awful disease is 67, almost twice the age he is now. In the days following this life-changing diagnosis, he was faced with conversations regarding treatment options and surgical procedures and tried to make sense of what his future would be like living with cancer. He remains determined in fighting and beating this deadly disease with a positive attitude and the best treatment available.

As his big sister, I insisted that my brother receive the best care possible. I was determined to be an advocate for him by researching the newest treatment options, seeking out a second and third opinion, and ensuring he had a voice in his care. I realized through this process that many cancer patients may not have an advocate and therefore have made it my mission to educate as many people as I can regarding the facts of esophageal cancer in order to raise awareness of this disease.

Column

As a tribute to my brother who is in the fight of his life, it is my duty to spread the word that this devastating disease can strike anyone and that every cancer patient deserves an advocate. Starting in June 2020, I will be riding my bike from Salt Lake City, UT to Peoria, IL to raise money for the Esophageal Cancer Awareness Association. I am leaving from Huntsman Cancer Hospital and will arrive 15 days later at Illinois Cancer Care in Peoria, IL. My goal is to raise money for awareness, talk to as many people as I can about this disease, share the facts, and promote advocacy in patient care.”
