This year, Team Melmed and I will again be riding in place to move cancer research forward in honor of my father, Bolek (who passed away from pancreatic cancer), and my college roommate, Zane (who passed from away brain cancer). 

With the announced cuts to NIH, it's more important than ever before for us to support medical research. There's been so much progress in the fights against brain and pancreatic cancer, now is not the time for us to stop. It's time for us to do even more. Every bit matters, every donation helps, every step forward gets us closer to better treatments and cures.
