On Feburary 6, teams of Gerstner Sloan-Kettering students and faculty joined 2,500 indoor cyclists from New York and Chicago to raise more than $2.4 million to support rare cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The event, Cycle for Survival, was founded in 2007 by Memorial Sloan-Kettering patient Jennifer Goodman Linn who was diagnosed in 2004 with malignant gibrous histiocytoma, a type of soft tissue sarcoma.
Team GSK — students Neha Bhagwat, Lei Wei, Alex Miller, Moriah Nissan and her husband David, Cindy Puente, and Dimiter Tassev, team captain — cycled in shifts for four hours and surpassed their fundraising goal.
