Eileen's Ride for Roswell Park in Buffalo




Last Saturday my daughter Eileen rode in a 20 mile bike ride for Roswell Park Hospital in Buffalo to raise money in honor of her favorite step-dad, Ed. This 15th annual event included 7,000 riders and raised 2.3 million dollars for cancer research and care. Eileen's goal was to raise and contribute $150.00 from a few family and friends, and she ended up raising $360.00 to date. We would like to genuinely thank Robyn, Patrick, Michael, Marilyn, Kate, Anonymous (I know who you are!),Thomas, John, Jan, Kristin, Katie, Jaclyn, Eric, Janie, and Marianne for their generous donations to Eileen for the cause!! You all have big hearts and we appreciate you.
If you would still care to contribute, you can donate on her "Eileen's Ride" web page for Roswell Park Hospital at; http://giving.roswellpark.org/Page.aspx?pid=614&frsid=20983
Lately we have learned that Ed's treatment, although experimental, is very encouraging and showing great success. Three drug companies have worked together to develop this special cocktail of drugs to combat Multiple Myeloma, with an extremely high rate of effectiveness.
One indication that cancer research is on the cutting edge! Thank you Eileen, family, and friends for your time, effort, love, and donations.
