I’m rallying for the place that saved my life.
Every dollar I raise goes to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the team that treated me after emergency brain surgery, a VHL diagnosis, and cancer in both kidneys.

This one’s personal.
In 2025, Sylvester’s team took me through emergency brain surgery, a von Hippel-Lindau diagnosis, and kidney cancer. Today I’m still in their care, through a clinical trial.
The research that’s treating me exists because people funded it. Now it’s my turn to show up for the next person.
Because of research. Because of funding. Because people showed up.
