Kyle Hubert, MT-BC, is supervisor of music therapy at Norton Audubon Hospital and has been with Norton Healthcare since 2017. He provides music therapy consultations
throughout the hospital. It is clear how deeply he cares, not just about his patients, but about the entire Norton Healthcare community.
He and his wife, Mikinzi “Kinzi” Hubert, R.N., an oncology nurse at Norton Women’s & Children’s Hospital, are both incredibly passionate about supporting those facing cancer. For Kyle, Bike to Beat Cancer is one of the most meaningful ways he can give back. He has been riding in Bike to Beat Cancer for five years now, and each time, it means something more.
“Each year I ride, I remind myself that I get to ride,” he said. “This event is such a powerful reminder of those patients and families who are facing or have faced a cancer diagnosis, some of whom are no longer with us. The pain I experience during this ride is nothing compared to what they have gone through. For me, this ride is a salute to them, a way of saying, ‘We’ve got your back.’”
One memory that really sticks with him was when Kinzi participated in the ride for the first time. As the sun rose and a giant American flag hung between two fire trucks, the survivor parade began.
“I looked back and saw tears streaming down her face,” Kyle said. “She was nervous about finishing the course, but by the end, she just kept saying, ‘I’m doing this for my patients.’”
Moments like that are what keep Kyle coming back year after year. For him, Bike to Beat Cancer is a reminder of the strength, resilience and hope of every patient and survivor. “Norton Healthcare is one big family,” he said. “You can see that in how we show up for our patients, for each other and for events like this.”
Help the participants in Bike to Beat Cancer 2025 reach their goal of raising $500,000. With 10 ways to participate, there is an opportunity for everyone.
