Everyone knows someone whose life has been affected by cancer.

This July, I'm cycling over 500 miles across NY state from NYC to Niagra Falls to end cancer. This marks the 11th anniversary of the Empire State Ride (ESR) and my third time joining this incredible group of road warriors. Last year ESR raised over 2.2 million dollars and surpassed 10 million dollar raised over the last 10 years! I am very grateful for my health and the opportunity to make a difference impacting cancer research from the seat of my bike. 

This event benefits Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center— America’s first cancer center. In 2024 Roswell Park earned from the National Cancer Center (NCI) a rating of Exceptional the highest possible rating for a US cancer center.

Every dollar raised advances cancer research in the development of new treatments and therapies. The groundbreaking research done at Roswell Park brings us a step closer to ending cancer. ​

Riding and donating to the ESR is my way of supporting the cancer community. I ride for friends and family members in both honor of those who have beat cancer and in memory of those who did not. Join me and donate to the Empire State Ride. No donation is too small, together we can fund groundbreaking clinical research and end cancer.  

You can donate to my ride online at www.empirestateride.com or send a check with my name in the notation to Roswell Park Alliance Foundation Elm and Carlton Streets Buffalo, NY 14263​

Thank you for your support and joining me in making a difference!
