B-TougH

Welcome to our fundraising page! In August 2022, I was diagnosed with Primary Mediastinal B Cell Lymphoma—a moment that changed everything. Now, I’m beyond thrilled to celebrate being two years cancer-free. This journey has been one of resilience, gratitude, and hope, and I couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of family, friends, and this community.

This year, Team B-TougH is back for our fourth Cycle for Survival - participating in a different way at the Cycle for Survival feat. SoulCycle ride on Friday, 2/6 from 5-7pm at Equinox Brookfield Place - and we’re ready to make a difference again! As a team, last year we raised over $22,000, and as a community, we raised an incredible $36 million in 2025 to fund research and treatment for rare cancers. Let’s keep the momentum going this year. Every dollar counts, and every ride fuels hope.

Thank you for being part of this fight—you’re changing lives.

Here are two ways to get involved:

1. Make a tax-deductible gift today. Every dollar you give will go directly into MSK labs, where researchers have expertise in more than 400 types of cancer. Funding from Cycle for Survival has led to the FDA approval of new drugs, lifesaving clinical trials, and state-of-the-art DNA sequencers.

2. Join our team. We would love to have you come out and ride with us on Friday, 2/6! Sign up for Sam Y's Team by Monday, 2/2 and you will be added to this team page and bikes placed near mine! Here is the link to join: Cycle for Survival feat. SoulCycle ride

50% of People With Cancer Have a Rare Cancer
About half of all people with cancer have a rare form of the disease. Rare cancers include many types you’ve likely heard of, such as leukemia and lymphoma; thyroid, ovarian, brain, and pancreatic cancers; and all pediatric cancers.

Real Impact, Real Fast
Your donation will be allocated within six months after fundraising ends. Not only does Cycle for Survival fund critical research but it also makes sure that donated dollars get into the hands of MSK experts as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your generosity!
