Riding for Hope
Sarah and I are riding this year not on the road, but virtually! We do this together as father and daughter.
This year we are again honored to be teaming up with Team Kermit.
My ride - and your support - are both in honor of my daughter, Sarah, and in memory of my daughter Jessie. In October 2007, at the age of 9, she succumbed to the treatment for her leukemia and did not survive.
Keeping Jessie Alive
Dana Farber kept Jessie's cancer in check for six years, while different sources of hope emerged since her original 2001 diagnosis. We continue our fund to carry on her legacy - the BRIGHT HAPPY POWER Fund.
Oncologists Have Added Hope
In our lifetime, Dana Farber has achieved a striking success rate for children with acute leukemias. They continue to set standards for the successful treatment of solid tumors in children, too, such as neuroblastoma.
What We Can Do To Help - Fund The Hope
Every year the financial burden of discovery and research for treating and beating childhood cancers has fallen more heavily on private institutions such as Dana Farber's Jimmy Fund. Support us in whatever measure you're able to do so. Your help is quantifiable; it has helped Dana Farber's Jimmy Fund to keep Jessie alive for six years.
