Cycle for Love, Olympic Dreams, and a Growing MSK Alliance

Posted on by

In honor of Valentine’s Day this past Sunday, we have a love story, big dreams, and a growing collaboration…

  • 10 years, countless miles, and $80M later, Jennifer Goodman Linn’s legacy and love story continues to raise money for cancer research. “Cycle for Survival has been instrumental in funding essential rare cancer studies led by Memorial Sloan Kettering, including my work on leukemia and epigenetics,” said Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Dr. Ross L. Levine. “I’ve been riding at Cycle for Survival’s events for five years and feel so inspired.”
  • Serena Burla, will compete at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Los Angeles on Saturday. Five years after being diagnosed with synovial sarcoma in her right leg, and fearing she would never walk again, she thanks Memorial Sloan Kettering and Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Patrick Boland for not only saving her running career, but also her life.
  • Press Release: MSK and Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Health South Florida announced on Wednesday that Miami Cancer Institute will be joining Hartford Healthcare and LeHigh Valley Health Network as the third partner in the MSK Cancer Alliance.
