Meet my friend Jen Goodman Linn. She has spent the past 4 years battling a rare type of cancer called sarcoma. After 3 surgeries and 22+ months of chemo, we all thought she had kicked the cancer. However, she found out last week that her cancer has returned for the 4th time and there's no known cure.
Jen and her husband David launched Cycle for Survival 3 years ago to raise money for rare, underfunded cancer, so-called "orphan" cancers.
Cycle for Survival is an indoor "spin-a-thon" taking place Sunday Jan 25, 2009, in NYC (Equinox at 44th and Lexington to be exact). Teams will ride at the main location in NYC as well as at a variety of satellite locations around the world. Cycle for Survival has already raised over $800,000 dollars for cancer research. The goal this year is to raise $1 Million and have over 200 teams participating on that day.
Please visit the web site if you're interested in participating. Jen and others with rare cancers will appreciate it.
