Mar. 21, 2024–Jeff Molby / Chemo Riders

Jeff Molby (pronounced Mole-bee) is a Rotarian from Caro, Michigan (pronounced Care-oh) where he’s been volunteering for the American Cancer Society through Relay For Life for the last few years. On October 10th, 2023, he added his love of traveling and cycling to his fight against cancer as he set off on a multi-year bike tour around the country in order to help people get to their chemo appointments.

 

After becoming treasurer of his son’s boy scout troop, Jeff went to visit the troop’s sponsor: the Rotary Club of Caro, Michigan. He was blown away by the warm welcome and the values embodied in the four-way test, so a couple weeks later he had his red badge.

Around the same time, Jeff attended his first Relay For Life. He loved the way they fight the global scourge of cancer in a profoundly local way. He started small and eventually took on an outsized role to help restart things after covid.

He recently turned his attention to the American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program. They too need a post-pandemic boost, so Jeff combined his love of traveling and cycling to his fight against cancer, setting off on a multi-year bike tour around the country in order to raise money and recruit drivers to get patients to their lifesaving treatments.
