The 2016 Cycle for Survival season was the most successful to date, raising $30 million thanks to incredible donors like you! With your help, we have raised over $100 million through our 10 years of rides, with every single dollar going directly to rare cancer research led by MSK. Each and every dollar raised this past season is already at work in Memorial Sloan Kettering’s (MSK) research labs to fuel transformative progress in the treatment of rare cancers.
In addition to the allocations for very specific rare cancer research projects, donations also support the advancement of comprehensive research initiatives to change the way that cancer is both diagnosed and treated. Here is just one impactful discovery that you made possible —
Next Generation Technology that Uncovers What Causes Cancer and Provides Insights for Treatment — Impacting the study of all cancers at MSK
The Battle: Researchers need next-generation sequencing machines to process tumor samples and help develop personalized treatments for individual patients, including those who may not be responding to standard treatments.
Cycle for Survival funded... The purchase of a million dollar state-of-the-art genome sequencer.
And now... This is changing the face of cancer research, a leap forward for researchers – many of whom receive Cycle for Survival funding – to develop personalized therapies that provide hope for patients with all types of cancer.
Thank you — and TripAdvisor — for joining us in this fight! We look forward to seeing you in 2017.
