Three words that can stop time and change your life in an instant: “You have cancer.” The shock is indescribable. You may experience a myriad of emotions, fear, sadness, and denial. This is normal. Now imagine that someone reaches out to you and says, “I’ve been there; I can relate to what you’re going
through, and I’m here for you.”
At Team Tony, our mission has always been clear: to ensure that no one on Florida’s Suncoast faces cancer alone. Cancer is a disease that impacts individuals, their families, caregivers, and friends. Team Tony Cancer Foundation was born from the profound understanding of the life-altering moment that accompanies a cancer diagnosis. Recognizing the impact of this pivotal moment, our co-founders, Tony McEachern and Lori Kayser, set out to offer insight and inspiration by connecting those newly diagnosed patients and caregivers with compassionate cancer survivors who have walked a similar path.
In Florida, over 100,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer this year. We offer members of the Suncoast community a lending hand and an open heart during a tremendously challenging and life-altering time. Team Tony Cancer Foundation’s mission is to provide free Peer-to-Peer cancer support and resources to
cancer fighters, survivors, and caregivers in our local community.
Over the last seven years, we have matched over 800 cancer fighters and caregivers in the Tri-County area with Team Tony teammates and provided over $350,000 in medical financial assistance grants to help alleviate the financial burden that comes with a cancer diagnosis.
As we celebrate our 15th Anniversary in 2025, we anticipate, with excitement, all that is to come this year and beyond, including the expansion of programs and services offered to our cancer Fighters and Caregivers, expanding our outreach efforts and continuing to make sure no one on Florida’s Suncoast faces cancer alone!
Everything we’ve accomplished has been made possible by the incredible generosity of our community. As we continue to walk alongside those impacted by cancer, we invite you to join us for this year’s 8th Annual Gran Fondo Sarasota!
The event will be held on November 23rd at the Florida Farm Bureau Pavilion and consists of three different bike routes that range in distance from 33 miles to 100 miles, as well as a 5-mile Cruiser Ride. Join us after for a fun epic Finish Line Party that will include music, catered food, and more.
If your organization is interested in partnering with us for the 2025 Gran Fondo Sarasota, we would love to connect. Please reach out to the Team Tony Cancer Foundation office at kelly@teamtony.org or call us at (941) 227-4404. Thank you for your continued support and thoughtful consideration!
