#STLMade’s latest feature, Pedal Power, beautifully captures the mission of Pedal the Cause and highlights a few of the passionate people behind our drive to create a world without cancer.

Every breath, every turn of the wheel, every cheer, every mile of pavement proves that Pedal the Cause is people-powered.

Every year in the St. Louis region, this cycling event raises money for cancer research that stays at institutions in the metro area. In 2024 alone, Pedal the Cause raised more than $5.2 million for research at Siteman Cancer Center and Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

“Everybody on a bike that morning is thinking of someone in their life that they’ve lost or is in the fight or has survived,” says David Drier, executive director of Pedal the Cause. “And they’re grateful, or they’re hopeful — one of the two, right? And they’re trying to do something about it.”
