Cancer has had an impact on all of us. Just hearing the word itself is enough to instill fear, sadness, and anxiety, but nothing compares to what too many of our loved ones have endured battling this disease firsthand. For our family members, friends, collegues and peers who have been impacted or could be in the future, I'm proud to play a role in ending cancer so that it no longer has the hold on our lives that it's had for so long.

This year, I’ve joined Pelotonia, a global community determined to see an end to cancer, for its 15th year of raising funds to accelerate innovative cancer research. Together, the Pelotonia community has raised over $258 million for cancer research at the OSUCCC – James. And we’re just getting started!

I’m proud to ask for your support of my fundraising efforts knowing that Pelotonia directs 100% of every participant-raised dollar to invest in the brightest minds and biggest ideas in cancer research — including advancements in cancer prevention, improvements in early detection methods, and the development of cancer therapies that are less toxic and more effective for patients.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated!
