Bike to the Beach

A fundraiser for individuals and their families with autism, Bike to the Beach-New England is a 100-mile ride from Boston, MA to Newport, RI and was Medicine in Motion’s culminating event for 2019. Our team of 19 riders—including 12 medical students from three separate Boston medical schools, 6 non-healthcare professionals, and 1 dentist—completed the ride on August 31, 2019. Together, our team raised $15,326 towards autism care and research. There were many firsts that day: the first “Century Ride” for over half of our team members, the first Medicine in Motion event for six team members, the first time to Newport for almost all team members, and the first time raising funds through a bike ride for the majority of the team. It was also a second: the second culminating fundraiser event for Medicine in Motion, following up on 2018’s Pan-Mass Challenge. Join our team to be a part of our third culminating event in 2020!
