On July 9, I and several family members will participate in this year's Prouty fundraising for cancer research. This year, I plan to ride 50 miles in honor of my dear friend Jen Reining who recently lost her life to breast cancer. She was one of my walking buddies, one of the smartest, most capable women I know, and she could rock a bald head and red lipstick like nobody!  I miss her dearly.

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.

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 2022 Prouty.

An additional $250 will be added to my fundraising total for every 5 donations made by May 31. 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!
