Welcome!! This year will be my THIRD year riding for Roswell! This year I am riding with Team Salvadore Pedal Power! I met Mrs Maryann 2 years ago through my friend Joelle, as she asked me to join her and Mrs Maryann's team to spray paint the survivor names for the finish line. What an honor it was to be a part of that, and I hope to be able to do it again this year! My first encounter with cancer was when I was about 11 years old. My mom was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I remember her telling my sister and I on the couch in our home, and all I could think about was her dying and we wouldn't have a mom anymore. I don't remember much other than visiting her once while getting chemo, but I feel like it's a good thing I don't remember much. Fast forward to today, she is now 17 years CANCER-FREE, thanks to Roswell Park. I am going on 7 years working as a nurse, 3 years working at Roswell, and I like to think that growing up with seeing my parents take such good care of us as kids, while dealing with treatments, has made me want to become a nurse. I strive to be a better person everyday, and hope to help my patients in any way. Please consider donating for more treatment options and better quality of life for our patients and family!
