Charitable Fundraiser Details:
On August 22, we're riding to raise funds to tackle a specific type of cancer driven by the exon 20 genetic mutation. Your contributions will provide seed money for vital research targeting the transformation of this lethal diagnosis into a manageable chronic disease. Lessons learned will also be directed toward other cancers. To date, we have raised approximately $43,000 thanks to 170 donors. Yet, we're aiming for $70,000 to fund our initiatives.
The money raised from our VERY successful 2023 bike ride went to the following research groups that are focusing on key areas of unmet needs: understanding resistance mutations; understanding potential drug combinations based on mutational profiles; understanding CAR-T cell therapy's application to the solid tumor arena:
MD Anderson Cancer Center
University of Pennsylvania
University of Texas Southwestern
University of Pittsburgh
University of San Francisco

My thanks to each of you for considering participating in this ride.
