THEY GAVE HIM ONE YEAR.
The worst news of our lives came on March 3rd, 2021. Stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Fast forward, it's 2024. As I write this, again, after 3 years of the biggest fight of our lives, I am so incredibly grateful for Roswell Park for giving us the gift of time, which is truly the most valuble thing we could have asked for.
Here's to YEAR 4 for the Ride for Roswell and Szalkowski STRONG!
My Dad, Jim, has been receiving treatment through at Roswell Park Cancer Institute for almost 3 years. He has been so strong during this terrible rollercoaster ride. There's been ups and many downs, but he has overcome them all.
He will be starting a new clinical trial this month to target certain mutations in the tumor cells. We remain very postive that this will be beneficial to him and continue to pray for as much time as God is willing to give us.
As we have been for the last 3 years, we can't be more grateful to everyone for their continued support, prayers, kind words and help as we go through this journey with him. We are SO thankful that we chose to go the Roswell for his treatment. His treatment team is beyond amazing, attentive and caring. He definitely would not be where he is today without Roswell.
This year, we want to have the BIGGEST team yet! We can't wait to ride again as a team to support my Dad. Szalkowski Strong all the way! Please consider joining my team - friends, family, EVERYONE is welcome! We will be riding 20 miles along the Niagara River on June 22th at 8:40am!
Let's come together and make a difference in the future of cancer research and bringing an end to this devastating disease.
Thank you, again, from the bottom of our hearts!
The Szalkowski Family
