11 Day Power Play

My team and I are ready to roll in 2024 for what will be our 7th year taking part in the 11 Day Power Play.
We have big goals this year as we are just $5,000 short of raising $100,000 since we started. I will continue this fight for friends and family who are battling cancer, have sadly lost their battle but we carry on their memory, and support those who care for cancer patients.
In 2022, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, so this cause and what it stands for took on a whole new meaning. She came through her battle, and is now cancer free, but the reality is, one's battle is never truly over. The mental healing, and continued physical side effects from treatment, continue to this day. Overall, her prognosis is good, but we continue to to rely on the cancer support services offered by Roswell Park...some of which are directly funded through efforts like The 11 Day Power Play. Additionally, we support Make A Wish, Camp Good Days, and Oishei Children's Hospital which provide additional cancer support services to children in the WNY community.
Two phrases from a couple of Frozen Forty teammates continue to stick with me to this day...
"What we can do, and what we will do, is offer hope."
"Our work matters...this work matters, and I'm going to continue to play in this event, until there is nobody else to play for."
It's hard to not get behind thoughts like that!
I need your support! I am playing in #11DPP Community Shift this summer. It will be several grueling three hour shifts but nothing compared to what cancer patients endure. Please support me to #PutCancerOnIce. Proceeds of the event will support cutting-edge cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park, Make-A-Wish WNY, Camp Good Days and Roswell Park and Oishei Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Program.
