Riding across New York State isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes courage, determination, and a commitment to something greater than oneself. I’m taking on the challenge of cycling more than 500 miles from NYC to Niagara Falls over seven days, camping under the stars each night.  

I’ve committed to this journey for one reason: to end cancer. This ride is my opportunity to shape the future of cancer research and treatment while honoring everyone affected by this disease. It won’t be an easy journey, but with your support, I know my hard work will be worth every mile.

Funds raised through the 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.

My goal is to raise $5,000, and I need your help to get there. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a significant impact. Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to those battling cancer.

Thank you for supporting me on this adventure!
