Hi friends (and friends of my wonderful parents!),

I've created this page to raise funds for research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), and I hope you'll consider joining the cause by making a donation. I'm going to be part of a Handstand Walk through my Gymnastics school, Gotham Gymnastics. I'm so happy that doing handstands could also help raise money!

Many of the most important breakthroughs in cancer research and treatment have been made at MSK, and none of that progress would have been possible without support from people like you and me.

In fact, much of the most promising new research can't even begin without donations from regular people. In most cases, it's only after real potential has been demonstrated by early studies — studies our support has funded — that government funding for this work becomes possible.

Too many of us know people who have faced a cancer diagnosis, and sometimes it's hard to know how we can make a difference. One of the best ways is to make sure the important work being done at MSK gets the support it needs to move forward. I've created this page because I'm determined to do my part to help.

When the next new breakthrough is announced, I want to know that I have played a part in making it happen, and it would mean so much to me if you would join me in this effort. Every dollar counts, so I hope you will be as generous as you can.

Thank you for helping!!

Lucia :)
