Jay and Tammy are long time staff members for the Empire State Ride. Jay started in 2016 and convinced Tammy to join this amazing group in 2022. We love Roswell’s mission and wanted to support this incredible charity. 

We will again support them as staff this year but we wanted to do more. 

We will ride our bikes over 2800 miles to Buffalo from Portland Oregon in time to start the Empire State Ride. 

We have been profoundly touched by the stories of survival and bravery from our ESR participants but we’ve also been heartbroken by the loss of our own friends and family to this terrible disease.

We know that riding extremely long miles by bike doesn’t happen overnight. We count every day, mile, and inch as we ride knowing that every revolution of our pedals contributes to our final goal just as every dollar donated counts towards finally conquering cancer.

​

Funds raised through Empire State Ride fuel innovative cancer research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, an institution recently awarded the highest possible rating — “Exceptional” — during its five-year Cancer Center Support Grant renewal. Every dollar raised leads to an additional $23 in funding from external grants and leads to breakthroughs that affect how we treat cancer everywhere.  

Thank you for supporting us on this adventure!
