Here’s a message I just sent to all my Salesforce colleagues who are participating in the 2021 Cycle for Survival event tomorrow in New York / New Jersey … on the field at MetLife Stadium.
Hey team,
I am really proud to be a Cycle for Survival Ambassador this year and I want to personally thank you for supporting Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) and their work to cure Rare Cancers.
While my cancer is not rare, I’ve learned through my 3+ years on Cancer Mountain that all cancers are connected in someway. In addition, I strongly believe everyone that has gone before me on this brutally tough trail … that might be you, a friend or family member who has battled cancer … has made my path along with the paths of millions of others easier.
I am living proof of that. After 44 rounds of chemo, 25 rounds of radiation, and 4 surgeries, I am now in a potentially curative clinical trial with UCSF Health. Mine is a story of hope, inspiration and innovation made possible only by the decades of groundbreaking work and advances pioneered and delivered by MSK and other leading cancer institutes.
So again, I thank you and I’m grateful for your all efforts. Make no mistake, those efforts will be felt worldwide throughout the cancer community far beyond what you experience tomorrow on MetLife field. What you are doing really matters today, tomorrow and well into the future.
With infinite gratitude,
Mark
San Francisco, CA
