This past Sunday, we celebrated Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer
TM
New York City at the Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers with our friends from The Skating Club of New York and special appearances from Olympic Medalist Tim Goebel, NY Rangers Alumni Tom Laidlaw, and even Elsa!
Our top fundraising team, Team Twizzle, was comprised entirely of adult skaters, raised a combined $3,296 for cancer research, and helped team member Annette Frey mark a cancer-free milestone.
"My 8 year cancer-free-versary is just days after our Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer

event, on February 14th. After cancer many do “something crazy," so I tried the flying trapeze, which was a great challenge but absolutely NOT for me. I knew right then that I had to get back to my first love, the ice. After 25 years away from skating, once I stepped back on the ice I never looked back.
I Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer

for all those fighting cancer now, those yet to fight and in remembrance of those who lost their battles.
It's so important to support cancer research - research and early intervention are the hallmarks of improved outcomes and survival rates!"
