This year my ride is dedicated to a few friends who are battling cancer: Scott Peterson, Marilynn Horwood and Sue Murphy, and to my lovely wife Barbara who was diagnosed in 2022 with Chronic Lymphocitic Leukemia (CLL) at Roswell. While there is no cure for this type of cancer, she is doing well and getting semi-annual checkups to monitor her health. And, as always, to my brother Thom who passed on in 2018 after a battle with esophageal cancer.
I’m riding this year with my friends Joe Filippini and Scott Peterson on Saturday, June 22nd. In past years I’ve been overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity in support of my ride and of Roswell. So much so that your donations have routinely exceeded my goal and put me in the Extra Mile Club of top fundraisers. I’m hoping to do that again this year and would appreciate your support in any amount in any way you can.
Cancer doesn’t care. It doesn’t care about age. It doesn’t care about your family or friends. It doesn’t care about what it takes from us — or who it leaves behind.
But I care. I care about making a difference in the future of cancer research and bringing an end to this devastating disease. That’s why I am participating in the 2024 Ride for Roswell.
Please help me raise critically needed funds to support the thousands of patients who turn to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center for hope each year. Your donation provides funding researchers need right now to investigate new treatment options that could save lives. For every dollar donated, Roswell Park can leverage an additional $13 in new grant funding!
Please consider donating today. Together, we can end cancer!
