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

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.  

Cancer has touched me on a very personal level, in 2004 I lost my father to cancer, days later my husband was diagnosed with cancer and fought it for 2 years but ultimately lost his battle. Then not long after my sister was diagnosed with cancer and lost her fight in 2009! I also have multiple family members and friends including myself that have survived their cancer diagnosis, improvements in surveillance and cancer detection, new treatments and research have helped survival rates. This is my 17th year I’m riding in the Prouty and sponsoring my team “The Other Ones”. Please consider donating to the cause, any amount is appreciated !

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 2024 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!

Wish me luck, it gets harder every year !
