Roswell Park Cancer Institute

As the summer approaches, there are a number of races, runs and walks that support Roswell Park. I am especially looking forward to and training for the Ride For Roswell.I was asked to be a part of an in-house video to recruit the employees of Roswell Park to get involved in some training and prepare for the busy season. I thought I would share with you what the talented marketing and production c

Clay is leading Team WYRK in this year's Ride For Roswell. However, he has some of us around the station questioning his training methods...

It is one of the most inspiring events I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Last year was the inaugural year for Team WYRK at the Ride For Roswell. This year, we plan to be back and better than ever! With your help, we can reach our goal and help in the fight against cancer!

The best part of what I do for a living is getting to help the community. Even if in a small way, getting to spread the word about charities and benefits is very rewarding. However, I doubt there is something I like more about being a radio announcer in Buffalo than the ability to help people on an individual scale. When I met AJ Walczak and his mom Lisa Gainey and heard their story, I couldn't wa

Have plans this Saturday? I hope you'll join us at the Walden Galleria as we partner with the doctors and staff from Roswell Park.

WYRK is always proud to honor members of our community with our Good Kids of the Week, our Hometown Heroes and Roswell Park's Survivor of the Month. At Thursday night's WYRK EnergyMark Acoustic Show, we honored a young man who in just a short time has given so much to his community, but now faces a serious health challenge.

This week (through Sunday, February 16) is Random Acts of Kindness Week! Roswell Park is giving away a $100 gift card for Tony Walker and Co. to commemorate this special week, and they would like you to show some love and support for the many cancer patients and their families here in Western New York.

Cancer touches way too many people. Chances are, you know someone who has been affected in your own family.

Today (February 4) is World Cancer Day, and right here in Buffalo, Roswell Park is helping to lead the fight against cancer. We spoke with Dr. Choi on the show on Tuesday to dispel some of the common myths about the disease.

This is a very special month at Roswell Park. True, 12 months of the year, the fight against cancer is being fought at every level inside their walls. However, January has been set aside to increase the supplies of much-needed blood and platelets.

Need a gift idea that doubles as a donation to a great cause? This year, Aflac and Macy's have teamed up to support Roswell Park Cancer Institute's pediatric patients. When you purchase a fluffy Aflac Holiday Duck at the Macy's store at McKinley Mall, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Roswell.

The fight against cancer is one that requires a great deal of hard work for the patient, their family and the doctors and staff that assist them. This month, we spotlight the battle WON by Dan Covino, whose daughter wrote in with his amazing story of beating cancer.
