I am raising money to support cancer research and care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK).
With expertise in over 400 cancer types and nearly 2,000 clinical trials underway at a given time, MSK is making a massive difference in the lives of people everywhere with cancer. MSK physician-scientists are committed to discovering new ways to prevent, detect, treat, and cure all forms of the disease.
Donors Fuel Progress
When you give to MSK, you become part of a community that is working to develop new ways to prevent, treat, and cure cancer, from the most common to the rarest. Whether donors give to honor a friend or family member, to fuel the next breakthrough, or to make the world a better place, everyone in our community is bound together by hope, optimism, and an unrelenting drive toward impact.
Your philanthropy accelerates innovation, allowing MSK physician-scientists to pursue bold ideas and tackle the biggest challenges in cancer research and care. This work ultimately leads to discoveries — including new cancer drugs and other treatments — that improve the lives of people with cancer at MSK and around the world.
A little about my story...
On April 3rd, 2023 I was confirmed and diagnosed with Stage 2 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. A moment in my 28 years of life when time stood still.
Because of the amazing doctors and research at MSK I was able to be a part of a ground breaking clinical trial. My tumor was 2.7cm that shrank to 6 millimeters (half of a grain of rice). I was once projected for over 25+ rounds of "true chemotherapy" and now I will I only need 4 rounds.
I’m grateful today to say now, I’m cancer free. While I still have months of treatment ahead of me, I know I'm going to be okay. Beacuse of the amazing work and research being done at MSK I was lucky enough to benefit this new treatment. As my doctors said, “This will be a short chapter in the long story of your life”. And because of my doctors and MSK I have so much life to live. Thank you in advance for your generous donation.
