Courage brings us together. Nothing can tear us apart. 

On Saturday, October 24, I'm participating in the 15th annual Miles for Moffitt...and I need your help! Miles for Moffitt is a community-wide movement of inspiration, courage, and hope that allows our community to come together to raise critical funds for cancer research at Moffitt Cancer Center.

Why am I participating in Miles for Moffitt?

I support Miles for Moffitt for two simple reasons: family and innovation. Cancer has fundamentally altered the history of my family. Both of my grandmothers died from lung cancer, one even being a Moffitt patient while she was fighting stage IV lung cancer. Now I am a research coordinator at Moffitt Cancer Center and I feel so fortunate to give back to the institution that helped my family. And as a research coordinator, I want to be an advocate for the innovation that Miles for Moffitt supports. The money raised for Miles for Moffitt goes to researchers with cutting-edge ideas and new projects that otherwise would not be funded. It is for these reasons that I would be honored if you donate to my personal page and help me fundraise for my team Pop Sci: Beating the Odds!

Please join me in raising funds for Moffitt patients, families, survivors, and caregivers by joining my team or making a gift to my personal fundraising page. Whether you can give $5 or $500, every dollar is critical to supporting Moffitt's mission - to contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer.

Thank you for your support and being an important part of the Miles for Moffitt community :)
