Ride for Roswell

I've officially signed up for the Ride for Roswell. I'll be biking 30 miles on June 27 to support cancer research with the Praxair team. My sister volunteered at Roswell last summer, and I know that it was an experience that changed her. Also, my mom is a cancer survivor. I'm excited to be able to do this race. If you feel inclined, here's my page to donate. Otherwise, just keep me in your thoughts!

Here's a bit about Roswell Park from their Web site:

"Welcome to Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI), America's first cancer center founded in 1898 by Dr. Roswell Park. RPCI is the only upstate New York facility to hold the National Cancer Center designation of "comprehensive cancer center" and to serve as a member of the prestigious National Comprehensive Cancer Network.

Over its long history, Roswell Park Cancer Institute has made fundamental contributions to reducing the cancer burden and has successfully maintained an exemplary leadership role in setting the national standards for cancer care, research and education.

The campus spans 25 acres in downtown Buffalo and consists of 15 buildings with about one million square feet of space. A new hospital building, completed in 1998, houses a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment center. In addition, the Institute built a new medical research complex and renovated existing education and research space to support its future growth and expansion."
