Pedal for a Purpose

Max Koenig is riding from Sri Lanka to Mongolia after watching his own family live through cancer up close. This ride turns endurance, distance, and story into practical support for families facing treatment, uncertainty, and long days away from home.

The Story

This ride is personal.

During Max’s senior year of college, his mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma. Weekends became hospital visits, routines changed overnight, and the meaning of support became painfully real. Pedal for a Purpose was born from that experience — to help other families stay close, breathe a little easier, and feel less alone while treatment changes everything.
