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

As many of you know, three years ago, I lost my cousin, Debbie Cortez to cancer.  Debbie was one of the most courageous individuals whom I have ever known. She was full of life, love and laughter. She taught me, through her own example, how to live a quality life in the midst of dying. I Prouty in her memory.

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. 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.
