With one in two men and one in three women in America being diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, most of us know someone who has been affected by this devastating disease. You can make a difference by supporting me in The Ride For Roswell. Funds raised through The Ride support cutting-edge research and compassionate, innovative patient care programs at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Please consider making a donation today. Together, we can help find cancer cures and save lives. I am riding this year and every year in the memory of the many family and friends that have lost their battle in the past. Some of you know that my father is the only one of his immediate family that is still here in this world, his parents and siblings all had some form of cancer when they passed away and there are others in my extended family on both sides that have had cancer to deal with, some are still here and some have passed on. I have said that as long as I am able to that I will ride in this event each year and I mean that because I believe that it is the best way I can make a difference for those that are and those that will be dealing with cancer. There are many friends and family that are survivors or still fighting that I ride in honor of as well. I would like any help you can give in reaching at least $2500 for Roswell Park to aid them in all that they do to provide care and in the research that takes place at this great facility. When I wear the shirts and hats I have had people thank me for riding and then I get their story and that is amazing. Thank you in advance, Brian
