Well another year has gone by and the Surace family is gearaing up for the ride 

.  Let's make Team AnnaLynn strong again. Last year,  as a team we raised over $12,000.  Hopefully , we can do it again.

  We started an Endowement Fund at Roswell Park with the funding we raised . This endowement , named in honor of our dear friend Sandy DeMaria , will aid with rare cancer types that need more research.  Ovarian , Brain cancer and blood cancers .  The endowment fund is something that will continue growing year to year and help benefit research in those areas.

 Last Year, we all did various rides, some did long rides (our super achievers) and some of us choose "The family " route. A beautiful little 3 mile jaunt . Our grandchildren joined in the fun. Lorenzo, Arianna and Ella were all part of the fun! It's a great day to ride a bike and support your team and honor your special persons!

As many know, our family was effected by cancer. Our daughter, AnnaLynn was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in 2008. She is a direct recipient of all the research that this fundraising has been used for. AnnaLynn received many chemo treatments, blood transfusions and frequent hospitalizations and then finally a recipient of a bone marrow transplant. All of this in our back yard at Roswell Park . She received excellent care and we are so happy to say a survivor.   

We are also riding and fundraising to honor our dear friend Sandra DeMaria , who passed away with a rare ovarian cancer that traveled to her brain . Taking her much to early in life. The endowement fund will help in research of cancers that AnnaLynn and Sandy had. 

As we continue on our journey of giving thanks for the gifts that our daughter AnnaLynn has and continues to receive as a cancer survivor.

You know her story. You know how thank full we are. We are also very proud to share with you the update on AnnaLynn's journey that started before her diagnosis in 2008. AnnaLynn has finished her Post Doctoral work in the Epidemiology Department at St. Jude's Hospital, in Memphis, Tenn- Her focus was cancer survivorship( It still is).She will begin her position at The University of Rochester, as Assistant Professor in March. She is very excited to be continuing her career in Rochester.

So the Surace family and friends continue to support the efforts of Roswell, because there are families like ours and yours that need them every day of the week, and we experienced how important that is.
