RIDE4IBD is a movement aimed to increase the social awareness of Inflammatory Bowel Disease for people living with IBD. Our goal is to Inspire patients in order to empower them, to Challenge their condition while providing resources, education, and to encourage health and fitness for the IBD community.
We believe cycling to be the perfect fun, community-based way to achieve IBD visibility. Breaking down the social stigmas related to IBD will help to empower patients to speak out about their conditions, allowing them to feel comfortable being open towards sharing their daily experiences with the illness. Our mission doesn't just stop at visibility, we aim to create and encourage health and fitness for our IBD community. Giving patients the inspiration, tools and means to challenge their conditions while creating friendship, and support with fellow community members in order to build a better future for IBD around the world. Are you ready to join the ride?
Cory lives in California and Germany while cycling professionally throughout Europe and the US.
Cory Greenberg is a professional cyclist living with Ulcerative Colitis from Southern California. As a young cyclist, Cory was diagnosed with IBD, putting his dreams of a professional racing career in question. During the worst of his condition, Cory was hospitalized, and doctors told him that a cycling career with IBD would be near impossible. Cory’s determination and will to not let his diagnoses stop him from achieving his dreams put him on a journey to set out and overcome his condition by finding a pathway to better health. Applying the lessons learned from his years of training, Cory assembled a team of healthcare professionals, coaches, and mentors to form a treatment plan. After his road to recovery, Cory achieved his dream in 2015 of becoming a professional cyclist, showing that anything can be done, even with IBD. Now living in remission, Cory has set his sights on using cycling as a platform to advocate for the IBD community, by inspiring others to not be ashamed of their diagnosis and to speak out about the struggles of living with IBD, while helping to encourage health and fitness for the IBD community.
