Today was very exciting! The team took the subway to meet with one of our beneficiaries, the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. We got to meet one of the fellows who is conducting important research in the field of cancer. She was amazing at explaining her work – I do not have a science background but still feel like I understand what she is doing and how crucial her work is.

After meeting with the Damon Runyon Foundation, the team explored New York City! Some riders explored Times Square, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, the 9/11 Memorial, and Wall Street. Everyone had a great time, and then finished the day with a meal from our host Bippin.
Tomorrow is the day! We are winding down now packing our bags and getting ready to leave from Central Park in the morning.
Expect many exciting updates to come!
