In July, 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. I will be participating in The Prouty Ultimate, which involves road and/or gravel bike riding 200 miles over two days.

According to the National Cancer Institute, 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 several members of my family. That’s why I pursued a Ph.D. in engineering focused on improving medical imaging of breast cancer (graduating in 2022), and that's why I joined The Prouty this year.

All funds that I raise go toward cutting-edge cancer research and crucial patient support services at the Cancer Center. Importantly, all donations will be matched one-to-one by the Byrne Foundation, so every contribution, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated and impactful.

Thank you for your support!
