The holiday season is often a time for reflection, gratitude, and giving. As we search for the perfect gifts for our loved ones, it’s also a powerful opportunity to give back in a way that creates lasting impact. This year, I want to invite you to join me in supporting a cause that is incredibly close to my heart: the fight against cancer.
Why I’m Riding 500 Miles for Cancer Research
Next summer, I will be participating in the Empire State Ride, a challenging 500-mile cycling adventure across New York State. This isn’t just a personal endurance test; it’s a journey with a purpose. Every mile I pedal and every dollar we raise goes directly to support groundbreaking cancer research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
For me, this ride is more than just a physical challenge. It’s a way to honor those who have fought, to support those who are fighting, and to contribute to a future where cancer is no longer a devastating diagnosis. We all have a connection to this disease, whether through our own experiences or those of friends and family. This ride is my way of taking action and making a tangible difference.
Groundbreaking Research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center
The work being done at Roswell Park is truly at the forefront of cancer care and research. The funds we raise help fuel incredible advancements, including:
- Immunotherapy: Scientists are harnessing the power of the body’s own immune system to fight cancer cells more effectively.
- Genetic Studies: Researchers are exploring the genetic makeup of tumors to develop personalized treatments tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
- Innovative Clinical Trials: Roswell Park provides access to cutting-edge treatments that offer new hope to patients who may have run out of other options.
This research isn’t just happening in a lab; it’s translating into real-world therapies that save lives and improve the quality of life for countless individuals.
How You Can Support the Empire State Ride and Cancer Research
To be part of this event, I have committed to raising $3,500. This is where I need your help. This holiday season, I ask you to consider making a donation to my fundraising campaign. Think of it as a gift that gives back—a gift of hope, progress, and life.
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to a world without cancer. Your support will not only motivate me through every mile of training and every hill on the 500-mile route, but it will also directly fund the brilliant minds working tirelessly to find a cure at Roswell Park.
You can make a donation in memory of someone or in honor of someone easily and securely through my personal fundraising page here:
