Join Stu's Crew!
Ever since I was a kid, our family biked in The Prouty. When you’re little, you don’t expect that one day your parent might be relying on the cancer research supported by fundraising from an event you’re riding in.
Then my dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2012. While his care was initially split between Boston and Dartmouth, for the last 5 years he was fully treated by/at the Dartmouth Cancer Center, and we couldn’t be more grateful for all they did. So, now it’s about giving back.
This year, I’ll be riding The Prouty Ultimate — 100 miles on Friday and 20 miles with the whole crew on Saturday. I, and our whole family, would love to have any and all participate. Whether that’s riding with us (and me on Friday!), participating virtually or donating to the team, we hope you’ll join us!
Here are two ways that you can help support patients, doctors and caregivers in the fight against cancer:
- Join me! Register for The Prouty today.
- 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.
