Cancer refuses to give up. That's why I can't, either. After missing the 2025 11 Day Power Play due to serious injury, I am back this year to raise funds for cancer research and for related support programs.

I do it in memory of loved ones including my dad, my aunt and my dearest childhood friend just to name a few. I do it for survivors including my mother, my brother-in-law, and high school friends. I do it for those who battle now, and for those who will some day.

I need your support! I am scheduled to skate on two shifts: Tuesday, June 23 and Wednesday, June 24, both 6 to 9 p.m. These will be tough skates but nothing compared to what cancer patients endure. I ask you to please support me to #PutCancerOnIce.

Proceeds of the event will support cutting-edge research and wellness programs at Roswell Park, Make-A-Wish WNY, Camp Good Days, Roswell Park and Golisano Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Program and The Petey Fund.
