This year, I again have the honor of riding as part of a small team, Ekip Onkoloji (oncology team in Haitian Creole), that is fundraising to support the visionary, relentless work of PIH and it partner in cancer care, the Dana Farber’s Center for Global Cancer Medicine (CGCM). Together, they provide state-of-the-art, dignified, comprehensive cancer care in Haiti, Rwanda and other under-resourced settings around the world. With more than half of the global cancer burden occurring in low-and middle-income countries—yet only 5% of resources are being used there— we are attempting to bridge the gap between those who have access to care and those who don’t. Over the past five years the team has raised close to $300,000 to support cancer care in Haiti, Rwanda, and beyond.
In this year's PMC ride, Ekip Onkoloji will be using the funds we raise to support our oncology work in multiple countries:
We have been supporting the provision of cancer care for almost 10 years and have been working tirelessly to strengthen and grow the programs and services available. Our team consists of nurses, physicians, pathologists, technicians, surgeons, nursing assistants, research staff, and many more. The funds we raise through the PMC will help us continue to strengthen our oncology services.
Our goal is to raise $35,000 together to accomplish this for cancer patients in Haiti, Rwanda and beyond.
This year's ride will be as part of a team that will attack disparities in cancer care. I will also ride in honor of people who are affected by cancer: those we know among our friends and family, those we don’t know in the US and around the world, and the 100s of millions who will be affected in the future. Thank you, in advance, for your contribution toward my personal fundraising commitment of $15,000 and Ekip Onkoloji’s goal of $35,000; any amount helps!
