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.

Let’s raise some money and get that mountain!

In February 2026 I will be seen gritting my teeth and climbing my way up Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money for the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.

 

Many of us have friends and family who have been touched by the unfortunate curse of cancer. For the past 20 years my path as a venture capitalist in the biotech field has allowed me the privilege of supporting young entrepreneurs who are devoted to developing and enhancing lifesaving medicine. Taking on the challenge to raise $1 million for the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation is another way to support all the brilliant individuals fighting to find a cure for this devastating disease.

The Daymon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation funds high risk, high reward cancer research and enables young scientists to be bold enough to go where others have yet to go.

I will be taking on this challenge with 20 other collegues in the Biotech industry and each of us are commited to raising a minimum of $50,000. Each donation will support this brilliant foundation that "won’t stop until they have the tools to prevent or cure cancer"!

I am determined to get up this mountain with the team, but every bit of support will help me get there.
