Dear Editor:Wow! It’s May, which means we are approaching the Cycle For Survival NJ event being held in Livingston (where it all started!) outside at Haines Pool on May 14 from 8 a.m.to 5 p.m. I will be there in the morning sharing a bike as part of “Team: A Mission Continued… Jennifer Goodman Linn.”This amazing organization was started in 2007 by Livingston’s Jennifer Goodman Linn and her husband, David, when Jenn was fighting her battle against sarcoma. Jenn’s legacy continues as Cycle for Survival has evolved into a national cancer fundraising organization run by Memorial Sloan Kettering and has already this year raised $300 million dollars!What makes CFS unique? 100 percent of the money raised by CFS goes to research and clinical trials with zero administrative costs. All research is shared with other major cancer centers, and money for clinical trials is distributed within six months.If you have never been to a Cycle For Survival event, plan to stop by Haines Pool on May 14 to cheer me on along with all the spinners including six teams from Jennifer Goodman’s LHS class of ’89, Jenn’s parents and CFS spokespersons, Sandy and Len Goodman, research doctors, survivors, and supporters. It is a celebration of progress in cancer research and is both emotional and ultimately uplifting (proof of two COVID vaccines required)!Donations can still be made at http://mskcc.convio.net/goto/AMissionContinuedJenniferGoodmanLinn or by check at the event made out to: Cycle for Survival, Memorial Sloan Kettering.Join the battle against cancer. Cycle for Survival!Nora Lichtenstein10 Bonnyview Drive ...
