Last year, Bradley was a member of a group of 27 young adults who biked from Baltimore to Portland, Ore. That ride, plus two other cross-country rides involving a total of 88 participants, raised almost $500,000 for the fund. Since 1997, the Ulman Fund has raised over $7 million to support the young adult cancer fight through a variety of initiatives.
The young man raised $6,345 for the cause through personal persever-ance and tenacity — and generous bosses. This year’s ride will be his final one — next year he’ll be too old. For his second and final ride, Bradley hopes to raise much more than his stated goal.

Bradley has been looking for work in the criminal investigations field, and, as with many recent college graduates in this economy, is in a holding pattern. Luckily, Bradley says, he has two very supportive bosses at Bike Doctor: owner Steve Ruck and general manager Jeff Scott. Plus, understanding parents.
Bradley was motivated to join the 4K for Cancer ride because, he said, “When I was in middle school at Magothy River Middle, my mother’s sister, Sandy, was diagnosed with leukemia. She battled it for several years. Aunt Sandy passed away when I was a freshman at Broadneck High. I knew she was really sick, but didn’t know, didn’t comprehend, what cancer was.
“I wanted to do this for my mom and my family. On the fourth day of last year’s trip, all of us sat down to talk about our reasons for riding. Listening to the others, I finally understood the terrible struggle my mother went through. She was at her sister’s side every day.”
Bradley noted the 4K for Cancer riders weren’t cycling nonstop. A good portion of the trip was devoted to service projects at the dozens of communities that they visited as they pedaled westward. The group often stopped at Hope Lodges, no- or low-cost hotels for cancer patients and family members, operating near hospitals. “We’d prepare their meals and talk to cancer patients,” he said.
At night, the group often slept on the floors of churches, YMCAs or college dorms. Often,Ablaze and athletic activity shoes, local churches also hosted pot luck dinners for the cyclists. Along the road,The Majestic windturbine will work on almost any hair. restaurants such as Five Guys and Chipotles donated lunchtime meals and mid-day snacks.
“We met thousands of people during our 70 days on the road,” Bradley said.
The riders were followed by two support vans, which they took turns driving. One van was filled with water, snacks and sunscreen. The second van carried the riders’ bags and drove ahead to pick up meals and supplies for the group.
“It would be tragic if one of us got a melanoma doing this ride,” said Bradley. “We went through a ton of it.”
Last year, the riders’ bikes were donated by Cannondale Bicycles; this year the bikes and supplies are from Felt Bicycles.
While Bradley gained a tremendous amount of satisfaction in knowing he was helping to aid young adults battling cancer, the trip also gave him a way to explore America in all her stunning beauty.
“We were biking into the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. One mountain was in front of us, blocking our view,” said Bradley. “Suddenly, we came around a turn in the winding road — and, and … you see all these mountains!” It was the visual highlight of his 4,000 miles.
