I have chosen to take part in the UMass Medicine Cancer Walk to fundraise and support the ongoing research and clinical trials program at the UMass Medicine Cancer Center of Excellence. I am walking in memory of my grandfather - Richard I. Barnes who passed away on November 9, 2008 from throat and lung cancer. 

Please sponsor me today and help all cancer patients diagnosed with and receiving treatment for cancer.

The UMass Medicine Cancer Center of Excellence provides patient- and family-centered care in an environment of compassion and respect. Physicians are working together with scientists to bring the most advanced cancer research, clinical trials and latest treatments to every diagnosis. This translates into increased quality of care and improvement in patient outcomes. The monies I raise will be used to increase the scope and progress of this ground-breaking clinical trials program. Our philanthropic support to the Cancer Center will provide patients more effective treatments with less side effects.

Your donation makes a difference in someone’s life! Please make a donation in honor of those who have been impacted by this disease and help support the research that will prevent others from being affected.

Donating to the UMass Medicine Cancer Center of Excellence through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. Please share this page with everyone you know.
