Alique Topalian, Research Scientist of Survivorship and Supportive Services at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Another Stupid Challenge Week 2 Update: Thank you to all who have already donated! So far we have raised $526 making us only $1,935 away from reaching my goal!
Week 2 has been a major success and I have the bruises to prove it! I have all of the basic skills down and am zipping around my neighborhood! Biggest win- I made it two miles yesterday! You may wonder why a 32 year old can’t ride a bike.. sadly it is another experience I lost to childhood cancer. Some of you may not know that I lost my right eye due to a serious infection during treatment. This has impacted my coordination and depth perception which made it very difficult to learn to ride, especially during childhood when I was newly adjusting to living life with one eye.
If you missed my last post, June is Cancer Survivors Month! To celebrate I am participating in Another Stupid Challenge to fundraise $2,500 for Stupid Cancer to provide a scholarship to attend CancerCon 2027 in Cleveland! Another Stupid Challenge is your challenge, your way. The goal- do anything that feels right for 30 days. What am I doing? Learning to ride a bike- 30 minutes a day. So tag along and watch my journey and help me raise money! Together we can make a difference for the young adult cancer community.
