This year, I’m walking 14.2 miles to honor my friend and colleague Jenny; a beacon of light gone too soon. Jenny was a remarkable person—kind, inspiring, and resilient—and her courage in the face of illness reminds us why cancer research is so critical. Did you know that one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes? It’s a sobering statistic, but one that motivates me to take action. By supporting Miami Cancer Institute’s Bounce Back from Cancer initiative, we can help fund innovative treatments that save lives and offer hope to patients and their families. Your donation will directly support groundbreaking research and precise, less toxic treatments, ensuring that people in our community receive the best care possible. Together, we can build a future without cancer.

Let’s walk, donate, and rally for a world where fewer families, friends and colleagues have to endure the loss of someone as special as Jenny. Donate today and join me in this fight! Every step we take is a step closer to a cure. 

ABOUT BOUNCE BACK FROM CANCERTM

The community-wide Bounce Back from CancerTM event will take to the streets of Miami on March 15,2025.  Participants can join the 14.2 mile “Full Court Challenge” by dribbling or walking from Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute in Kendall to the Kaseya Center in downtown Miami, or the 6 mile “Half Court” starting in the Grove or the 2 mile “Final Stretch” from The Underline's Brickell Backyard to the Kaseya Center. So lace up your shoes, grab your basketball and let’s have a great time for an incredibly important cause.
