Roundybout Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Cancer sucks. Last year, I posted a thread asking for donations, and you gents were incredibly generous. I made my goal, no problems. 2017 was rough for me. A good family friend came down with ovarian cancer and succumbed in November. Cancer then decided to give me a gigantic middle finger and take my dog, as some of you here know. Thus, once again I am looking to give back to cancer patients by riding the 45 mile route this June in the Ride for Roswell, and I am asking for your help in making my goal. If anyone would be willing to donate to my fund, any amount, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks, guys! Go Bills. -Mike (BE) http://give.roswellpark.org/site/TR/SpecialEvents/General?px=1079399&pg=personal&fr_id=1320 Edited March 8, 2018 by BillsEnthusiast 1
Marv's Neighbor Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 I feel for you, respect your support for this cause, and your view, but having lost my Mom in 1982 to cancer, there have been way too many rides & walks since then, with not very much to show. Polio was cured, TB was cured because we didn't have "big pharma," who are in business to keep selling drugs rather than finding a cure I'm sorry to hear about your friend, and being a dog lover understand that loss too!

My mother was a RN (Buffalo General) and she felt the same way before she passed in November of 1988.
Roundybout Posted February 26, 2018 Author Posted February 26, 2018 True, but there's no reason we have to give up. Sorry about your mother, MBS.

Roundybout Posted May 23, 2018 Author Posted May 23, 2018 One month out, and I'm halfway to my goal! Huge thanks to those who have donated. Mods, would you be willing to sticky for the month? http://give.roswellpark.org/site/TR/SpecialEvents/General?px=1079399&pg=personal&fr_id=1320
