Gerry Schilling is a true Less Cancer hero. At some of the toughest times, Gerry has shown up—jumping in, riding strong, and reminding us what real commitment looks like. He’s been part of the Less Cancer family almost since the beginning, alongside his amazing wife Julie, who has often served as our nurse on the road.

Safety First, Always.
Before you hit the road or trail, make sure your helmet is in good condition and certified for biking. Helmets don’t last forever—replace them every few years, and always after a crash or visible damage. Avoid secondhand helmets, and don’t rely on style over safety. Most importantly, make sure your helmet fits properly. If you’re unsure, visit a local bike shop or helmet expert who can help ensure a proper and safe fit. Whether you’re hiking or biking—your safety matters. Protect your head. Wear your helmet. Register today for Less Cancer’s Hike and Bike America. It’s FREE .

Unlike linear sick care or treatment, public health involves a variety of educational and communication platforms that, while rooted in evidence-based science, require creativity and the ability to pivot as needed to secure a healthy community.
