My team The Grateful Survivors and I are  planning on again 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. What's so exciting is that every dollar will be matched by The Jack and Dorothy Byrne Foundation, so your donation is automatically doubled!

More than one third of all people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetimes.  I was diagnosed with stage four melanoma in 2011.  It’s a universal problem that touches everyone, including the most important people in our lives. I will be riding for family cancer survivors (hence The Grateful Survivors): Art and his mother Yiayia, David Steele, McCall Russell and for those whom we have lost. That’s why I joined The Prouty as 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.

Here are two ways that you can help support patients, doctors and caregivers in the fight against cancer: 

1. Join me! Register for The Prouty today.
2. Make a gift to my Prouty fundraiser and help me reach my goal. Click the ‘donate’ button to support my efforts in the 2025 Prouty.

Thank you for your support!

Hope starts here. Hope starts with you.
