Robin Hall ’26 biked 85 miles and raised $4,273 for cancer research in completing the Pan-Mass Challenge on Aug. 5.
Metastasis is the number one leading cause of cancer deaths. Ninety percent of patients that have metastatic stage four cancer end up dying from their disease, so it is a huge area of research for clinicians and scientists alike.
“Grants like these can help investigators keep their labs running and play a critical role in the overall biomedical research endeavor in the U.S.”
Thousands of Cornell and Ithaca College students pulled all-nighters on Saturday for a perhaps more deserving cause than an unwritten paper or next-day exam.
The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Cornell and Ithaca College was held in Barton Hall this past weekend to raise money and awareness for all types of cancer research.
The Relay was kicked off by a celebratory “Survivors Lap,” as men and women distinguished by their purple shirts displaying “survivor” in bold print marched triumphantly, fueled by a steady applause from thousands of supporters.
