So i've been invited for the kickoff event September 27th at Times Square. I'll be at the 12:00 time slot and spinning with many others. WCBS 2 usually covers the event, so check the 6:00pm news and you might see me.

Here's some of the latest investments in research: http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/Cyc...017-625339

MetLife will match your donation dollar for dollar till the end of the year.

So not only will your donation count twice as much, get it in before the new tax changes when your donation might not be deductible.

So far i've received $400 in donations which means, with MetLife's matching, Cycle for Survival will get $800.

There's still time to get in. Also, if you itemize your deductions on your 2017 taxes, you'll get a tax break.

Thanks for the support.

I pray one day we won't need to raise donations.

I'm in West Palm and heading home when standing in line for the TSA, a woman saw the shirt I was wearing and said " I have to tell you how grateful I am for MSKCC and C4S". She tells me that the treatments she was receiving in Boston were not helping and was transferred to MSKCC. There she was part of a clinical test that was partially paid for by C4S and within months she was improving and her quality of life was renewed. It's been 3 years and she's returned to a "normal" life and is in remission. She credits C4S and MSKCC for her current good health. She gave me a hug and disappeared into the crowd.

Over the years i've met fellow participants in C4S, but this was the first time i randomly met someone who directly benefited from the treatment funded by C4S.

I'm posting this so all that have donated can see there are REAL people that directly benefit from your generous donations.

thank you all.

And for those yet to donate, there's still time.

Two weeks left before the event. So far i've raised $2715 and would love to top $3000.

Your donation is totally secure since it's directly to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Your donation is tax deductible and you will receive a receipt for your 2018 taxes.

The event was yesterday and our team, Team Gray Matter, raised $22,129. A bit less than last year, but we lost a few family/friends that donated in the past.

So far Team Gray Matter has raised over $150,000 since 2011.

Our team captain, Maria, along with myself, Toby and Miss Noa.

You can still donate until April 1st, so if you didn't.. please do.

Lost from donating, not from Cancer, right?
