BOSTON — After a pandemic pause, hundreds of people will “Cycle for Survival” outside Equinox in Chestnut Hill on Saturday, May 7th to raise money for rare cancer research.
Cycle for Survival is a fundraiser for Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York.
A Waltham mother Jessica Bella will be among the riders this year. Her team “Cycle for Sight” has taken part in the event for 8 years, celebrating the innovative chemotherapy treatment Memorial Sloan Kettering provided that saved her young daughter’s eye from cancer.
Jessica’s team alone has raised more than 30-thousand dollars. Every dollar raised goes directly to life-saving work.
“Cycle for Survival is the best event… to remind you of everything that you’re grateful for,” Bella said. “It’s so incredible.”
Cycle for Survival surpassed a huge fundraising milestone on April 27th, reaching $300 million raised since it began in 2007. To learn more and donate, visit:
