Two years ago my mom was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. It sent me through a whirl wind of emotions and challenges. At first, I found it difficult to balance school, and extracurriculars along with the new addition of my mom being sick. But after some time, I learned that these challenges create who we are today and make us stronger. 

This year, I will be participating once again along with thousands of other members who will bike, walk, row, golf and more to raise money for Dartmouth Cancer Center. Personally, I will be walking the 7k, alongside my mom who will be walking the 5k, and my dad and two brothers who will be biking 50 miles. I have done the Prouty for the past two years and I cannot wait to do it again!

Cancer is 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 straight toward cancer research and crucial patient support services at the Cancer Center. Hope starts here!

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.
