Skate4Cancer
Our Mission Skate4Cancer strives to hype up youth on the importance of cancer prevention and community building.
Values When Skate4Cancer first came to fruition, Rob Dyer was sixteen years old. He had lost a mother, both grandmothers and a best friend to cancer. He had witnessed the people he loved fighting the toughest battles of their lives, and he wanted to redirect his sadness by pushing himself as hard as he could. The idea to skateboard from Los Angeles to Toronto came to him, and he went for it. All of the attention that he gained while touring through the many towns were used as a platform to spread knowledge on cancer prevention awareness.
At the core, this is what Skate4Cancer will always be about. Our heart is pure and simple. Although we have expanded our reach over the years, S4C is still just a bunch of motivated, gnarly skateboarders who want to raise money and awareness while performing marathons across countries. We strive to actively grow a community that fosters discussion and support. We are a strictly volunteer based organization and we redirect any financial proceeds towards various hospitals and causes we believe in. Working with our community, we can use the combined passion to drastically reduce the presence of cancer.
