Welcome to the Harry Robinson Cancer Research Donation Page
Welcome! I'm thrilled to share that I'll be running the NYC 2024 Marathon this year to raise money for a cause that is close to my heart—cancer research. By driving breakthroughs in medicine and supporting world-class care at NYU Langone Health, we can make a real difference in the fight against this devastating disease.
Cancer's impact on my life fuels my determination and purpose for this run.
My dad is a throat cancer survivor. His journey was incredibly tough, filled with countless treatments and procedures. While he won the battle against cancer, he lost his voice, sense of smell and taste in the process. Despite this life-changing outcome, he never lost his spirit. Seeing him adapt to a new way of living, finding strength in silence, and continuing to express his love and joy for life in other ways has been both heartbreaking and inspiring. His courage and resilience remind me daily of the importance of fighting back against this disease.
Another deeply personal reason for my run is my wonderful cousin Emma. She was diagnosed with a silent and relentless form of cancer. Despite her brave fight and enduring spirit, we lost her far too soon.
Then there's Robbie, my best friend's dad. Just a year before his diagnosis, Robbie achieved an incredible feat reaching Everest Base Camp. His determination and zest for life were truly inspiring. Sadly, shortly after this amazing accomplishment, he was diagnosed with aggressive thyroid cancer. The disease progressed rapidly, and despite his incredible strength and willpower, he passed away. #doingitforrobbie
