Hello Family and Friends ♥
Let me tell you why I chose to participate: I decided to ride in January 2019 for 3 special people.
- My Grammie (Fran VanDette) - Roswell took the best care possible of her when she was diagnosed with and eventually lost her battle to Aplastic Anemia many moons ago, I ride to support researchers, so no more Grammies are taken away too soon.
- Liz Marshall Metcalfe - one of my most favorite humans, who if not for Roswell Park saving her life by helping her beat breast cancer I would have never had the opportunity to meet.
- Scherrie Beiring who battled pancreatic cancer and gained angel wings in late 2018.
Then in March 2019, cancer hit really close to home and quite frankly pissed me off when my brother (Tommy Poeller) was diagnosed with Lymphoma.
Roswell is so much more than cancer and for that I choose to ride this year again. I'm so glad the building is filled with kind hearted humans and kickass scientists finding cures for many diseases, not just cancer.
Here's Roswell's Pitch:
Cancer doesn’t care. It doesn’t care about age. It doesn’t care about your family or friends. It doesn’t care about what it takes from us — or who it leaves behind.
But I care. I care about making a difference in the future of cancer research and bringing an end to this devastating disease. That’s why I am participating in The Ride For Roswell on Saturday, June 22!
Please help me raise critically needed funds to support the more than 50,000 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. Together, we can make a difference.
