Two months ago, I started chemotherapy for Occult Breast Cancer at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH.  Two weeks ago, I picked up a pamphlet from CReW (Cancer Recovery through RoWing), and while I have yet to join a rowing session (soon I hope), I decided to also join their Prouty team to help raise money for cancer research. 

To friends who are hearing about my diagnosis here for the first time, my apologies. I have a long road ahead, but my doctors call my cancer "curable" so I remain hopeful.

What follows is the Prouty spiel. I hope you will consider donating on my behalf so that someday everyone's cancer can be called "curable."

THANK YOU! Suzanne

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.

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!

Together, we are changing lives. Together, we will end cancer.
