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. I am especially excited this year as 2025 represents my 10th year of teaching and academic collaborations in Rwanda, and the FIRST year since the creation of the first MEDICAL ONCOLOGY FELLOWSHIP IN RWANDA, directed by our long-time friend and research collaborator Dr. Fidel Rubagumya. 

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. Cancer is hard no matter where you live. It's 100 times harder in a country without access to the latest research trials, treatments and supportive care. 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 Dartmouth Cancer Center with a unique match to provide funds for our programs in Rwanda.  Hope starts here!

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.

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.

Thank you for your support!

Hope starts here. Hope starts with you.
