Nothing is more frightening and gets more of your attention than hearing your doctor say that the pain or discomfort you are feeling is caused by cancer. Your thoughts immediately focus on how this could impact friends and family and what you can do to change what first appears to be a devastating prognosis.
When I was growing up in Williamsville, my bother had a rare bone cancer and passed away at age 18. A few years ago Dr. Schwab and his Roswell Team performed a difficult 5 hour surgery on me to remove a tumor and saved my kidney in the process. I am personally grateful for what they did. I count my blessings that I am still kicking around and able to again participate in the Ride and play a small role in discovering promising cures that will end this debilitating disease. I also very much appreciate the innovative, cutting edge research they are conducting to offer hope to patients and family and all good they do for the WNY community. Those are some of the reasons I am proud to again join the Ride this year!
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 that researchers need in order to investigate new treatment options that could save lives in our community and around the world. For every dollar donated, Roswell Park can leverage an additional $13 in new grant funding!
Please consider making a donation today to help find cures. I will again be riding the Bob Feldman memorial bike and am honored to again represent you on this annual Ride that contnues to bind the community and offer hope to all impacted by this disease. Together, we can make a difference and thank you again for your support and participation.
