Cycle for Life at Flywheel

Two years ago, and just a few months after her twins Alexis and Sophie were born, Scarsdale's Victoria Landau got some frightening news. She was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma, a slow-growing form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Her cancer is categorized as non-symptomatic, and she is currently on a watch and wait protocol.

But she's doing anything but sitting around waiting. After she learned what she faced she decided to put her philanthropic background to use, and help to find a cure.

She got involved with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to further their mission to help others who have been diagnosed with blood cancer to have the chance to live the life that she has right now. Many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients, but are also used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers and are in clinical trials for patients with lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. And LLS funded drugs like targeted therapies and immunotherapies are now saving thousands of lives every day.

On May 18 from 6:30 – 7:45 pm at Flywheel in Scarsdale, Victoria will be joined by friends in a ride to raise awareness and funds for blood cancers. All donations are tax deductible and support LLS research, patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.

This fundraising effort is part of the LLS Women of the Year campaign. They nominate various people across the country to fundraiser over a 10-week period from March 31st to June 11. Whoever raises the most becomes man and women of the year. Each person runs their own campaign and can host as many events as they like leading to the grand gala at the Greenwich Hyatt on 6/11.
