I’m Riding to Help Fund Cancer Research..

Hello fellow Buddyslimmers..today I registered for the Ride for Roswell..I will be doing a 20 mile bike ride with my fiance to help fund cancer research for Roswell Park Cancer Institute here in Buffalo, New York.  This is my first time doing this and I hope to do it every year and eventually move up to the 30 mile ride. 

Perhaps you know someone with cancer - a friend, a family member, a colleague, an employee. The fact is that one in two men and one in three women in America are at risk of being diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Cancer affects everyone — rich and poor, young and old. It is the leading cause of death from disease in America.

There has been a revolution in cancer research in the past decade. For the first time, researchers and physicians are beginning to understand the causes of cancer and are making dramatic inroads toward new prevention, diagnosis and treatment strategies. With early detection, many cancers are curable if promptly treated. In fact, annual cancer deaths began to decline for the first time in over 70 years starting in 2004 due to these advances.

Now, more than ever, Roswell Park Cancer Institute needs our commitment in order to expand its leadership efforts. Please help support me in this important project by contributing generously.
