Grateful Family

Where your why meets your Ride

Every Ride for Roswell participant rides to help end cancer

The Grateful Family Teams give patients, survivors, and families a powerful way to turn their personal connection to cancer into meaningful impact.

By joining a Grateful Family Team, you can direct your fundraising to a specific Roswell Park clinic — one that cared for you, supported a loved one or inspired your Ride.

Your “why” becomes your ride

Your miles help advance care and research for the cancer that matters most to you.

The lymphoma team has been incredible for my brother. A lot of care. A lot of empathy. It’s my fourth year participating in the Ride. Obviously, this year holds a bit more significance, and that drove my push for the fundraising. Everyone has been extremely generous and kind with their donations.

What’s important to me is making sure that myeloma has a pathway to treatment and also a cure. I feel that raising money this way brings us together as a community. Cancer can be an isolating experience. Ride for Roswell is an amazing way to raise funds for the research while also coming together not only as a treatment class, but as a whole hospital.

Advance groundbreaking research

Every dollar you raise for your team is designated to fuel innovative studies to discover better treatments for that cancer type.
