June 28th, 2008 marks the next annual Ride for Roswell. I will be participating for the first time, along with a couple of co-workers from Algonquin Studios.
This annual ride is held to help raise funds for the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, an organization dedicated to the eradication of cancer. The donations raised at The Ride For Roswell support research, education, and treatment programs at Roswell Park Cancer Institute such as:
- Providing supplemental funds for RPCI studies approved by the National Institutes of Health as the best cancer research in the nation;
- Purchasing or maintaining state-of-the-art medical equipment and laboratory core resources for patient treatment and diagnosis, and for research;
- Funding programs that help transfer research outcomes into new treatments and/or prevention approaches;
- Enhancing Roswell Park’s compassionate care programs through Quality of Life initiatives to help patients and families at their time of need.

I have had several family members fall prey to cancer including my mother, who so far remains in remission.
If you would like to help me raise money for cancer research please consider donating online. Any amount you can give is graciously appreciated.
