Over the past 29 years, the Ride for Roswell has grown into one of the largest single-day cycling events in North America. It has raised close to $80-million since it was founded in 1996.
A large part of its mission has been to fund leading edge research toward new treatments and potential cancer cures.
This is the 20th year that Lorrie and I are riding in memory of my father, and both of her parents who dealt with cancer at various stages.
Your donations have made a huge difference through the years. We have both seen lives saved and incredibly extended through breakthroughs, a number of which have taken place at Roswell Park and been supported by Ride funds.
Dr. Candace Johnson is the President and CEO of Roswell Park, and speaks to how critical community support continues to be.
"These trials cost money. If we don't have a grant to support the trial, without the funds from the Ride this wouldn't be possible."
This is how the dollars you donate continue to make a difference.
Lorrie and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
