DIPG is one of the most aggressive childhood cancers.

Median survival is only 8–11 months, with a 2-year survival rate around 10% and less than 2% at five years. Together, we can change that.

Radiation is the standard of care, but it is not a cure offering only temporary relief. For many families, the only remaining option is to pursue clinical trials. This often means travel, time away from home, and significant financial strain.

That’s why support matters. Families aren’t just fighting a disease. They’re navigating everything that comes with it, all at once.

That’s why we ride.

Every mile on September 12th stands for a child, a family, and a fight that no one is prepared for.

The 2026 Cruise For A Cure brings riders together for one purpose: to provide real, immediate support to families facing pediatric brain cancer, glioblastoma, and DIPG.

This isn’t about someday. It’s about showing up right now, when families need it most.

We invite you to join us on September 12th for the annual Cruise For A Cure as we ride for hope, for families, and for every child still fighting.

Three years ago, a little girl named Mia gave this community a reason to ride.

What started as a few bikes showing up for her has grown into something much bigger.

Mia's journey with glioblastoma reminds us why community support matters with every form of pediatric cancer. Today, we ride for Mia and for every family facing pediatric brain cancer, glioblastoma, and DIPG/DMG.

Some battles shouldn’t exist. But when they do, we show up. Reminding families that they are worth fighting for.

Every mile ridden helps fund The H Life’s Child Life Community Program, providing families with real help: travel, expenses, and whatever they need most in the middle of the fight.

This isn’t about awareness. It’s about action. So that families don't have to carry all the weight on their own and can focus on what matters most: their child fighting the impossible.

DIPG/DMG is one of the most aggressive childhood cancers, with a survival rate that is heartbreakingly low. Despite that, it receives less than 1% of the National Cancer Institute’s pediatric cancer research funding.

Most people have never even heard of it the disease until they're sitting face to face with a doctor trying to understand why their child is unwell.

And while research is critical, families facing DIPG don’t have the luxury of time.

They need support right now.

That’s why this ride exists.

This ride is about stepping in immediately: helping families with travel, expenses, and the day-to-day realities that come with this diagnosis.

Your support helps launch The H Life's Child Life Community Program. This new initiative from The H Life is designed to connect families with practical support, trusted resources, Child Life expertise, and meaningful community throughout their journey.

This is:

• Riders showing up for families in real time
• A community that actually backs each other
• A ride where every mile, every donation, every sponsorship, every dollar has immediate impact

This is people showing up when it matters most.

Because out here, nobody rides alone.

• Check-in and kickoff at Fastlane Customs
• Event shirt pickup at registration
• Refreshments and time to connect before the ride
• A strong send-off as riders roll out together
• A full scramble type ride experience with multiple stops in between Hobart, Indiana and into Michigan
• A post-ride dinner and silent auction supporting the Child Life Community Program

From the first engine start to the final stop, this day is built around community, purpose, and showing up for families who need it most.

Join us after the ride for a night that brings everything together.

This is where the day slows down, stories are shared, and the reason behind the ride becomes real.

• Dinner with the community that showed up
• A silent auction raising additional funds for families who need it now
• Time to hear and honor the stories that drive this mission

You don’t have to ride to attend. Everyone is welcome.

In partnership with Signature Sponsor Fastlane Customs. Proudly hosting the kickoff of the 2026 ride.

This ride runs on people who don’t sit on the sidelines.

Partners of Cruise For A Cure aren’t just supporting an event. They’re stepping in to support families facing pediatric brain cancer right now (especially DIPG, DMG, and glioblastoma) through meaningful moments, real-life support, and lasting legacy.

Your partnership helps launch and sustain The H Life's Child Life Community Program while providing practical support for families facing serious childhood illness.

Together, we are meeting the need right now, when time matters most.
