Why I Ride for Cycle for Survival
Welcome to my fundraising page! For the past eight years, I’ve proudly participated in Cycle for Survival to raise money for rare cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). With the incredible support of so many wonderful people, I’ve raised over $130,000 to help fund this critical work—and I’m not stopping now!
My mother, Sunny, is my inspiration. She was a beacon of strength, love, and resilience. In January 2016, after an 18-month battle with pancreatic cancer, she passed away at the age of 74. I ride in her honor and memory, determined to make the world a better place—a future free from cancer.
I know this is a big goal, but it’s the least we can do to support the doctors and researchers who make real, lifesaving progress every day. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you can give $20, that’s a meaningful step toward change. If you’re fortunate enough to give more, I encourage you to consider making an even greater impact. Together, our collective generosity fuels the breakthroughs that save lives.
Your Impact
Rare cancer research is significantly underfunded, even though about half of all cancer cases involve rare forms like pancreatic cancer, leukemia, and pediatric cancers. Every dollar you donate goes directly to MSK labs, where it funds innovative treatments, clinical trials, and groundbreaking discoveries. Donations are allocated within six months, ensuring your support drives immediate progress.
Thank you for being part of this mission with me. Whether your contribution is big or small, it’s a vital step toward a brighter, cancer-free future.
