BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Roswell Park's annual winter fundraiser, IceCycle, is back at RiverWorks.
The two-day fundraiser will bring together twelve spin and fitness studios to host cycling sessions with all proceeds benefiting cancer research.
"Every day we just keep making more and more progress, and it's because of events like this," said cancer survivor Pam Benchley. "They're [Roswell Park] doing amazing things and raising a lot of money just for research so people like me can come out and do things like this."
This year, Roswell Park has raised more than $640,000.
"A lot of people here are survivors," said Mackenzie Giancarlo, Senior Fundraising Manager at Roswell Park. "They're supporting survivors. They're honoring their family members who have passed or they're here spinning for a mom, a dad, a grandma, or a grandpa. It's really powerful."
Buffalo RiverWorks will continue to see more cyclists into Saturday.
"Never give up," Benchley said. "Never stop fighting because just when you least expect it, you're going to turn that corner and you're going to do amazing things too."
