Cycle for Survival 2023 - Please Support Ricky's Riders

Supporting rare cancer research is important to me, which is why I’m leading the Ricky’s Riders team in Cycle for Survival ’s 2023 event to raise money to help beat rare cancers.

This year will be my 12th year participating in Cycle for Survival. The event is on Saturday, May 6th and I'm asking for your help to meet our team fundraising goal of $10,000.  If you can contribute, any amount makes a difference.   

Why do I ride? For my father, Richard.

My father, Richard Aaron MFA CSEP Emeritus , was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin's Lymphoma a few years ago. He's currently in remission and doing well following a stem cell transplant and extensive treatment. He was fortunate to benefit from cancer treatment and advances, but not everyone is as lucky. I ride for my father, but also for those who aren't as lucky as him.

For those of you who don't know about the cause, Cycle for Survival is the movement to beat rare cancers. As a community, we ride in support of research discoveries and clinical breakthroughs that benefit people all over the world.

Rare cancer research is underfunded, and people who are diagnosed with these cancers are often left with limited treatment options — sometimes none. The generosity of donors helps fill that funding gap, giving people with a rare cancer hope for a better future.

Since the first Cycle for Survival event in 2007, so much progress has been made thanks to this community's generosity and dedication. But we need to keep going so that doctors and scientists can make even more breakthroughs, and more people around the world can access the treatments they need.

100% OF ALL FUNDS RAISED go directly to rare cancer research led by Memorial Sloan Kettering.

Please donate to provide hope to those battling a rare cancer
