In August 2021, my mom Carol and I participated in the Ride for Roswell for the first time. I was riding for her, as she was living with stage four uveal melanoma, diagnosed in 2016. Between many procedures and countless immunotherapy infusions, she was able to live with her cancer pain-free and enjoy doing everything she loved to do in life including teaching, working in the garden, physical fitness, and so much more. Unfortunately, the cancer began to take over three months later and it spread rapidly. After a much longer than expected cancer journey full of beautiful memories, my mom passed away on February 19, 2022. This year, I’m once again riding in memory of her. 

Please help me raise critically needed funds to support the thousands of 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.
