About Cycle for Survival: Memorial Sloan-Kettering's Cycle for Survival raises crucial funds for research on rare cancers. Founded in 2007 by Jennifer Goodman Linn and her husband, David, the event became an official Memorial Sloan-Kettering event in 2009 and has doubled in size and fundraising totals each successive year, making it one of the fastest growing fundraising events in the world. Now a national event, it has raised more than $4.5 million in less than four years. Trailer Radio's lead singer, Shannon Brown, will also be participating in this year's Cycle for Survival. "My best friend was recently diagnosed with a rare cancer and is undergoing treatment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering," said Shannon Brown. "He asked me to participate in Cycle for Survival in February. Since Trailer Radio had a performance coming up we decided to turn it into a fundraiser and hopefully raise even more money for cancer research. It's time we find a cure for cancer and every dollar counts. It's a cause that's extremely important to me."
