Dear All:

For the fourth time in six years, I will ride 556 miles over seven days to raise funds for cancer research at Roswell Park in Buffalo. We begin at the southern tip of Manhattan on July 26, 2026 and finish in Niagara Falls on August 1. Many of you have supported this effort in the past and I hope you will do so again.

My intrepid life partner Cathy and our indefatigable dogs will sherpa all the way — an inn-to-inn tour of the Empire State in an all-electric vehicle. Your donations also provide them with moral support to support me in this effort.

Riding across New York State isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes courage and a commitment to something greater than oneself.

I’ve committed to cycling more than 500 miles from NYC to Niagara Falls for one reason: to end cancer. This is my opportunity to shape the future of cancer research and treatment while honoring everyone affected by cancer. It won’t be an easy journey, but with your support, I know my hard work will be worth every mile.

Funds raised through Empire State Ride fuel innovative cancer research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, an institution recently awarded the highest possible rating — “Exceptional” — during its five-year Cancer Center Support Grant renewal. Every dollar raised leads to an additional $23 in funding from external grants and leads to breakthroughs that affect how we treat cancer everywhere.

Thank you for considering to support this adventure!
