You might think it's really hard to cycle over 500 miles from New York City to Niagara Falls, but it's actually not.
Really hard is finding out that you or someone you care about has cancer. Really hard is making decisions about treatment. Really hard is dealing with the side effects of chemo, radiation, infusions, and surgery. Really hard is seeing the physical and emotional toll cancer takes on both the patient and their loved ones. Impossibly hard is saying good-bye to someone taken too soon by cancer.
But through all that pain hope can be found. Hope comes from revolutionary new treatments that improve quality of life and outcomes for cancer patients. Hope comes from medications that maybe can even prevent or cure cancer. But those kinds of revolutions can only happen through high-level research, and that research is in constant need of funding.

Big news - dollar for dollar match
Thanks to one of our big sponsors, who happen to be the incredible people who make all the moving parts (that aren't bicycle wheels) happen at ESR, I'm very excited to announce the following:
This Monday, May 6, starting at 12 p.m. EST, Port X Logistics is sponsoring a fundraising match of $25,000. Any gift made over $250 will be matched at $250.
This means that if you donate at noon on Monday, you will double the value of your donation, up to $250! This is a once a year event, and once Port X reaches the $25,000 threshold, the match is over. So, if you were thinking of donating, Monday at noon is the time to do it.
DOUBLE THE MONEY TO KICK CANCER'S ASS!!!
Peace,
Harry
