The Generation to End Cancer™
Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page for the Huntsman Challenge. I’m honored to join thousands of college students working to be The Generation to End Cancer by supporting the lifesaving research and care at the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
Cancer isn’t just a statistic to me—it’s personal. I lost my grandma to breast cancer, and watching someone I love battle this disease changed me forever. It showed me the strength patients carry, the pain families endure, and the urgent need for better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
That’s why I’m making the commitment to participate in this event, raise money, and do my part to bring hope to patients and their families. I’m walking, riding, and fundraising in her honor—and for every family who has felt the weight of cancer.
100% of every donation goes directly to supporting the mission of Huntsman Cancer Institute, advancing research, improving treatments, and giving patients a fighting chance.
If you’re able, please consider helping me reach my goal. Your support means more than you know. Because of you, families facing cancer can continue to hold on to hope—and together, we can be the generation that ends it.
About Huntsman Cancer Institute
Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) is a leader in the study of cancer genetics and its researchers have discovered more inherited cancer genes than any other cancer center in the world. Genes responsible for breast and ovarian cancer, colon cancer, head and neck cancer, and melanoma were identified here.
All cancer treatments used today began with research. Learn more about research taking place at HCI by visiting huntsmancancer.org.
