We are thrilled to announce that this year marks the inaugural participation of Kevin Guest House and Team Kevin in the Ride for Roswell! As co-captain, alongside KGH’s Executive Director Lynsey Weaver, I am excited to lead our team in this inspiring event that supports cancer research and patient-care programs at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Our ambitious goal is to recruit 20 enthusiastic riders to raise an impressive $20,000 and spread the word about our mission. Your support will fund vital cancer research, and our partnership with Roswell Park, enhanced by their quality-of-life grants, will help Kevin Guest House continue to provide a "home away from home" for patients and their families. While this goal might sound daunting, a team member could be a family of four, where each person raises $250 (or 10 donations of $25 each). Your enthusiasm and participation will be key to our inaugural year's success!
Like Tanya and Shayleigh, who are pictured above, who recently stayed with us after Shayleigh, at 24, suffered a stroke & diagnosed with leukemia. Tanya shared her gratitude, saying:
"The Kevin Guest House has been a godsend over the past 8 months. It has become my second home…. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I can never repay you for all that you have done for me. 'Home is not a place, it's a feeling.'"
Please consider donating or joining our team to support the families who benefit from Kevin Guest House. Together, we can make a significant impact on their lives and support the essential work done at KGH. Let's make our inaugural year unforgettable!
What is more, for every dollar donated to cancer research, Roswell Park is now able to leverage an additional $23 from external grants towards that research.
Together – we can continue to keep families together during medical crises away from home & support critical research in hopes of better treatments for our guests.
Even more, we'd be honored to wear the name of your loved one on Ride Day if you write their name in the comments area while donating to our team! Truly, thank you for considering supporting our efforts for patients & caregivers facing life-threatening situations away from home.
Sincerely,
Doug Muth, KGH President & Team Captain
