This year, I will be participating in The Prouty along with thousands of my fellow community members who will bike, walk, row, golf and more to raise money for Dartmouth Cancer Center. Together, we will go all in to end cancer. 

In the month of September this past year, my mom sat my family down in the living room to tell us that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. As one of the caretakers in this situation, this new occurrence threw me in a whirlwind of emotions and questions. However, over time as a watched my mom heal both physically and mentally from this unfortunate diagnosis, I began to realize myself that this event happened for a reason. It was teaching us, as a family that you can't do much about what happens, rather we must except the present. That's why this year when I participate in the Prouty, I will do it with more passion and recognition of the diagnosis of cancer then last year. Do this with me, and we can kick cancer in the butt together.

More than one third of all people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetimes.* It’s a universal problem that touches everyone, including the most important people in our lives. That’s why I joined The Prouty. All of the funds I raise go toward cutting-edge cancer research and crucial patient support services at the Cancer Center.

2. Make a gift to my Prouty fundraiser and help me reach my goal. Click the ‘donate’ button to support my efforts in the 2024 Prouty.

All funds raised will help fund innovative researchers and clinicians who are dedicated to finding ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer. Prouty funds also provide meaningful patient and family support services that are otherwise unfunded—such as support groups, massage, art therapy programs, transportation and grocery assistance, and more.
