Tomorrow, I’m participating in my 13th Cycle for Survival! I’m going to use the post to shamelessly promote my Cycle for Survival team and invite you to support us. If you do, you may win a great prize!
Jennifer Linn founded Cycle for Survival in 2007 with Equinox gym in New York City. It was a grass-roots program inspired by her love for cycling and the encouragement she found among her gym buddies. Today, thousands of cyclists team up each year with friends, family and coworkers to ride against cancer. And the event has grown from 1 location and $250,000 raised to over $350 million and hundreds of rides through today.
So why do I participate? Everyone is touched by cancer and “rare cancers” are not so rare. Did you know that 50% of all diagnosed cancers are considered rare? Rare cancers include brain, pancreatic, cervical, sarcoma, stomach, pediatric cancers and many others. 100% of money raised goes to Memorial Sloan Kettering. More than $350 million has been raised to date, directly funding clinical trials and research studies. Since I’ve started, I’ve lost friends and seen friends battle many different cancers. I feel so much pride in being a part of the amazing research at MSK.
