One out of three Americans will develop cancer sometime in their lifetime.
IceCycle 2024 is going to be here before we know it! Being able to participate in this event is one of my greatest honors.
When I began participating in this event riding in honor of my father in law. The next year my why for participating grew when I continued to ride in honor of my father in law and also adding riding in honor of my stepdad and my uncle. The following year my why changed drastically. I now rode in memory of my uncle Jimmy and my stepdad Jack while continuing to ride in honor of my father in law.
This years why has changed yet again. I will continue to ride in memory of my stepdad and Uncle Jimmy but also in memory of my father in law. His battle was brave and bold and we cherish every memory we have with him. His presence is so missed. The positivity he carried and showed us was incredible. The strength he had, if only I could have a fraction of that. It is hard to ride for those no longer here, but I will do it proudly.
One more change came our way with a big addition to my why list. I will ride in honor of my mom who was diagnosed in August 2023. It feels surreal to have my mom on my honor roll. We are so thankful for the resources Roswell has provided to our family over the years and those they continue to provide.
Raising money for Roswell is a big part of our community. If you consider donating to my ride, I will be eternally grateful. I will ride for my people and anyone close to your heart. Thank you!
Cancer has directly affected my family greatly.
That's why I'm taking on a challenge to push myself to make a difference for cancer research. I'm participating in a cycling challenge outside in chilly Buffalo. Winter in Buffalo is tough, but you know who is tougher? Cancer patients and those affected by cancer. So, I'm doing this for them.
Funds raised through this event supports the expansion of cancer genetic services and research at Roswell Park. Will you donate to my IceCycle challenge? We can make a difference together.
