I have been really delayed in starting my fundraising this year for Cycle for Survival. College decisions, huge work project, life…"I don't have time". It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and say "I don't have time" to do the things we care about. But for the past decade, I've made time to ride in Cycle for Survival - this year marks my 10th year. I ride to support Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's research and to help "buy time" for our loved ones battling cancer. That's what MSK did for me and does for many, many others. Cycle for Survival not only provides crucial research funding but also ensures that donations quickly make it into the labs of MSK doctors and scientists. Every dollar counts, and through today only, every contribution will be matched, doubling your impact. Contribute a small amount today and help us buy more time for those fighting cancer. https://lnkd.in/eR2dMR6F

As the May 2024 Pittsburgh Marathon approaches, it coincides with the second anniversary of my diagnosis with a horrid cancer called Carcinosarcoma mixed Mullerian Tumor. When I heard the words 'you have cancer,' it was devastating. Life suddenly halted, and the glass that was once half full seemed to drain to emptiness. I was trapped in two opposing time zones: one consumed by fear, where time stood still, and the other rushing towards an uncertain finish line I wasn't ready to cross. Cancer is a landscape of emotional dualities: despair battling hope, crudeness versus grace, ugliness confronting beauty. Despite the overwhelming challenges, I endeavored to start each day with a positive mindset and end it grateful for the beauty and joy still present in my life. Much of this resilience stemmed from the simple acts of kindness from family and friends, reminding me that I mattered and that we would navigate this journey together. Today, I stand before you as a survivor, grateful for the incredible support I received from UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital and their Foundation. Their tireless efforts in raising awareness for underresourced women's cancers have been instrumental in my recovery. Please donate to the Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation to support this vital cause. Together, we can ensure that others facing similar battles have access to the care and support they need to overcome cancer's challenges. Let's make a difference in women's lives by fighting this disease. https://lnkd.in/ezMmN3su

Let’s come together to fight this disease and create a cancer-free world. Early detection and prevention are crucial
