Winter in Buffalo is tough, but you know who is tougher? Cancer patients and those affected by cancer. That’s why I’m stepping up to show my support and change the future of cancer as we know it.

This March, I’ll be joining coworkers and turning up the heat and challenging myself at Buffalo’s coldest cycling event of the season — all to raise critically needed funds for Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.

I ride too because.. I thought I saw my sister Patty proud as her son received his Master's, I thought I saw her dance with my son at his wedding.  I thought I saw her when her so loved goddaughter/niece Alex had her youngest son.  I didn't see her there...let's work together so we don't have to imagine our loved ones with us because they were taken by cancer.
