Cancer has touched my family and many people close to me in profound ways. These experiences have shown me firsthand the critical importance of cancer research and treatment advancements.

The urgency of supporting cancer research and specialized care providers has never been greater. This year, we've witnessed dramatic cuts in government funding which has threatened the continued progress of innovative treatments. Some quick facts...Congress appropriated $2 billion to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in fiscal 1993. By 2025, funding had risen to $7.22 billion. The White House wants Congress to slash NCI's budget by nearly 40%, to $4.53 billion, as part of a larger proposal to sharply reduce NIH’s fiscal 2026 coffers.

As government support collapses, the role of organizations like the PMC and Dana-Farber becomes even more critical in maintaining momentum in the fight against cancer.

After participating as a virtual rider in 2020, I'm thrilled to be taking it to the road and cycling the 85-mile route from Wellesley to Bourne with the FLAMES Team!
