Shore, who is participating in Chefs Cycle for the fourth year, continued, "Whether in kitchens or on bikes, their continued support will help us end childhood hunger in America."

"Chefs Cycle is more than just a bike ride. Every mile and every dollar raised means we're closer to ending this hunger epidemic in our country," said Duff Goldman. "We feed people for a living. It's our responsibility to step up and make No Kid Hungry a reality."

In 2017, Chefs Cycle raised over $2 million for No Kid Hungry, and aims to exceed that amount this year to feed more kids in need. For more information about Chefs Cycle and to donate, visit ChefsCycle.org.
