Five years. Five boroughs. One unstoppable team.
For the past five years, Sun River Health has participated in the annual TD Five Boro Bike Tour. This year, we fielded a powerhouse team of 11 dedicated riders representing Sun River Health on the course! With 40 miles of car-free streets ahead, stretching from Manhattan's skyscrapers through the vibrant neighborhoods of the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, and on to the finish line in Staten Island, our riders put their hearts, souls, and legs into every mile.
From the Verrazano to the finish line, Team Sun River Health didn't just ride — they represented. Every pedal stroke was a reminder of why we do this work: healthcare should never depend on what's in your wallet. Whether they were veteran riders or tackling the 40-mile trek for the first time, every member of Team Sun River Health rode with pride, wearing our mission on their sleeves (and jerseys!).
While the physical feat of riding 40 miles is impressive, the real magic happened off the bike, in the weeks leading up to the event. Thanks to our riders' peer-to-peer fundraising and the overwhelming generosity of our donors, partners, family, and friends, we raised an astonishing $11,500. The most we have EVER raised at a single charity athletic event!
Let that number sink in: $11,500. Raised by riders for the patients who need us most. It's not just a record - it's a promise kept.
We aim to create healthier communities, and all are welcome at Sun River Health, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Since Team Sun River Health began participating in the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, our riders and supporters have raised nearly $40,000 to expand access to healthcare for our patients across New York City, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley.
The wheels are turning, the momentum is real, and Team Sun River Health isn't slowing down. Stay tuned - we're just warming up.
