So it looks like it is that time of the year again, but I want to first off on again thanking everyone who donated last year to this great cause and for helping me make it a success!!!!! I really appreciate it, but it is a new year and the battle against cancer is not nearly over, and it is time for me to do my part in this battle and I once again need your help!!!
I am riding in honor for my Mom, who passed from pancreatic cancer in 2013, and my good friend since High School, Bob Saslawski who passed from pancreatic cancer as well, in 2016, and for my mother in law, Doris Biscardi, who passed from ovarian cancer. I have decided to do my best to raise as much as I can for cancer research, and cycling is my best way to do this.
I will once again be bicycle riding 400 plus miles in September from Pittsburgh, Pa to Philadelphia, Pa to raise money for Cancer Research. The group I am Riding with is called the Keystone State Ride, and we ride to show support for the Breakthrough Challenge and Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center
We raise funds to support breakthroughs in cancer research at Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center (ACC). Founded in 2013, 100% of all participant-raised dollars are donated directly to cancer research.
Please consider joining me by making a donation. My fundraising efforts will support the Abramson Cancer Center. I am fueling the research that will deliver breakthroughs!
Make your tax-deductible donation today and take the first step toward helping me achieve my goal.
Thank you for your support!
