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

We ask you to contribute whatever you can. The proceeds go to support the Cancer Center at DHMC. My daughter, Vicki, is a cancer survivor in great part due to the treatment and support that she received from the Center. We all know of friends and relatives that have suffered from cancer, some of them, unfortunately, did not survive including my mom and dad. Our goal is to raise enough money so that the dreaded "C" word will no longer threaten the lives of our loved ones.

Please give as much as you can and, please give as soon as you can while there is a matching gift available from the Byrne Foundation. Now more than ever, with every penny in question that may or may not be provide by the government, it is up to us to act as a community and make sure that we help and support each other as much as we can.

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.
