Introducing FlipForce: Riding for Hope, Fighting for a Cure
This April 23, on his birthday, we honor John "Flip" Engle, brother, hero, and friend by launching a fundraising team in his honor.
Flip sadly lost his battle with pancreatic cancer but fought it with courage, humor, and resilience—a true embodiment of strength. In his name, we are proud to announce the formation of FlipForce, a team dedicated to conquering challenges, celebrating love for life, and fueling groundbreaking cancer research.
FlipForce will take part in the 2025 Pedal the Cause event, united by a profound purpose: to ride, honor, and make a difference. Some of us will take on the 100-mile "River Bluffs Century" which rides through the river country and across the rivers that have meant so much to Flip and our family.
Every pedal, every mile, and every effort symbolize our support for Flip and the memories of loved ones whose lives have been touched by cancer. FlipForce rides not only for Flip but for the legacy of resilience within our families and friends. Their spirit fuels our mission.
Together, FlipForce is more than just a team; it's a movement of love, strength, and solidarity. We ride to honor our heroes, raise awareness, and support research that will bring the world closer to a cure. Join us as we pedal forward with passion and determination. With Flip’s unyielding spirit guiding us, we ride for hope, and we ride for a future free of cancer.
We are proud to be joining Pedal the Cause in the fight against cancer. We know that it takes world-class research to create a world without cancer. And by participating in Pedal the Cause, we know that 100% of our donations will go directly to accelerating cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center and St. Louis Children's Hospital.
