Last November, I lost my mother, Maria (Mila) DeMelo, to a long difficult battle with cancer. She was a very kind and generous human being who gave unwavering love to her children. She sacrificed everything to give us a better future and recently retired back to her home country, Portugal. My mother’s fight left us confused, frustrated, and heartbroken. Mila led an incredibly healthy lifestyle, showing us that cancer truly does not discriminate. On June 22nd, my wife and I pledge to ride 65 miles in her honor.
I need your help to raise critically needed funds to support the thousands of patients that turn to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center each year.
Please donate to my Ride for Roswell fundraiser. For every dollar donated to cancer research, Roswell Park is now able to leverage an additional $23 from external grants towards that research.
Together – we can end cancer!
