Once again I will be facing off against cancer as I play in the annual RCCS Hockey Classic, benefiting the families and patients of RCCS in memory of my father Dr. Mark Weiner z'tl.
We are skating in memory/honor of a remarkable husband, father, grandfather, physician, and human being who inspired and changed the world with his courage, dignity, resilience, and grace in facing and living with a devastating illness. Mark Weiner, MD was a true mentsch in every sense of the word and loved by so many. And he loved hockey! The rush, the thrill, the speed, the competition, the sport. He loved life.
Over the past 12 months, RCCS gained over 200 new patients and saw its budget grow by over $1 million dollars. The funds raised during the 2020 campaign allowed this organization to continue its lifesaving work despite the tremendous challenges that were faced.
The mission of RCCS is to tackle cancer challenges, ease medical treatment, cover insurance premiums to lighten the financial burden, and make cancer care more accessible. Without this great organization, 2800 patients would stare death in the face with little chance of recovery and survival. RCCS stands by each individual throughout every step of the process, holding their hands along the way to help them fight and win the war against cancer.
Please help this life saving organization by supporting me and my team as together we face off against cancer.
