Jennifer and David Lynn co-founded the indoor team cycling event to raise crucial funds for rare cancer research. All of the funds raised in Cycle for Survival go directly to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and are allocated within six months of each event which has drastically reduced the time it takes for treatments to reach patients — in some cases cutting the span from years to months. Cycle for Survival is an event that LLD participates in by both raising awareness and supporting the event with a cycling team in NYC.

For Valentine’s Day this year I wanted to highlight a causethat always makes me smile. You can literally feel the love at the annualevents hosted in Equinox gyms across theUS.
That event is MemorialSloan-Kettering Cancer Center’s Cycle for Survival, the indoor cyclingfundraiser raising awareness for rare cancers. LLD was there happy to supportthe very important cause.
At Cycle for Survival we had our sitters and my family (mymom’s mother had brain cancer and this makes us feel like we are connecting toher again) working check-in, on-site managing and babysitting in the Kids Zone! 
One of our sitters Bridget said, “it’s so incredible to mejust how many people Jen (Cycle for Survival’s founder) touched.  She must have been such an incredible woman”.  Learn more about Jen’s story by watching thisvideo
I’m personally touched by Emma’s story, I worked with herdad promoting the event last year in Chicago. Emma’s team is Emma’s Eight, readabout her story here
And back home in NYC, our girl Perry, who we’ve babysat forthe past 4 years, read about her story on her mom’s blog. And get this her mother rodefor 8hrs Sunday! Go Anne!
Next year LLD needs to get a bike!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
