ABOUT US
Yes We Can Cycling is a community-driven team of riders united by a simple belief: “Yes We Can.”
What began in 2020 as a small group of friends has grown into a six-year movement. In 2026, a team of 22 cyclists will take on SBT GRVL—pushing their limits to create impact far beyond the ride.
Since its founding, the team has raised more than $2.4 million, with a goal of reaching $3 million this year. Funds support children and families navigating disabilities and complex health needs through organizations like the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago, Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley, and the Cerebral Palsy Foundation.
Through their journey, they inspire others to believe that together, we can make a meaningful difference in the world.
MISSON STATEMENT
A group of friends and cyclists united in purpose: conquering the Triple Bypass race in Colorado and challenging stigma head-on. Fueled by the mantra 'Yes We Can,' they pedal with passion, rallying support for initiatives that provide life-changing services, equipment, and care. These efforts empower individuals with developmental delays and disabilities to realize their dreams while also offering vital support to their families. Every donation propels them closer to a brighter future, backing the transformative work of the Epilepsy Foundation, Easterseals, and the Cerebral Palsy Foundation. Together, they ride not only for victory but for the vision of a world where all can thrive.
How It All Started
"It started with my daughter Ava, who's ten, has cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Endurance cycling was a way to raise awareness and fundraise for my daughter's charities. So, a group of six friends came together, and I started sharing Ava's story at that time. But now it’s so much bigger than that. We’re raising money and awareness for amazing organizations that have a direct impact on helping so many… And for me personally, if I can help one child, one family in this world, that's a win."
