Cycle For
Survival launched five years ago with 50 cyclist in New York City. The
event raises money to fund cancer research to study rare cancers. 100%
of the money donated goes to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Research
Center. Over 50% of people suffering from cancer have a form of "rare"
cancer. To date Cycle For Survival has funded 25 clinical studies.
This year more
than 10,000 cyclists took part across the country. On Saturday, Cycle
2012 delivered a check for $7.6 million to Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
The team, "Build Me Up, Buttercup" is composed of the Herold family and friends. Three FIJI members, Nathan Brzozowski, Ryan Morris, Bruce Bogenrief joined their brother, Jarrett, for Cycle 2012. The team has raised about $8,000 this year with the donation window open until late March.
