Welcome to My Fundraising Page

I am joining the Timmerman Traverse to raise money for the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation and to hike the highest mountain in Africa, and reach the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

What am I doing?! 

Climbing Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, with a team of biotech execs and investors, to collectively raise $1mm+ to fuel critical cancer research

Experimenting with this thing called camping, where I sleep outside in a tent

Having fun, making friends and building bonds that will last a lifetime on a bucket list adventure

Why am I doing it?!

Why not?!   I am excited and blessed to be part of an accomplished team on this Kilimanjaro trek, under the leadership of Luke Timmerman. Beyond the laughs and challenges we will all face together, we will partner to raise funds to support the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.  I am particularly inspired to support Damon Runyon with their focus on funding grants for high risk/high reward research led by young brilliant scientists.  A rock solid way to drive meaningful, transformative change in the landscape to conquer cancer!

As an executive at BioMed Realty I am proud and humbled to lead a team that owns, operates and develops critical real estate facilities across 20mm SF and two continents to advance life saving therapies. I’m honored to further this mission on the mountain, where the magic happens, alongside an iconic group of leaders.   

How can you support me?!

Donate, donate, and then donate some more (please)!  Every bit counts in the fight against cancer.  Help me ascent to my personal fundraising goal.  

Keep climbing!
