Welcome to my fundraising page!
Dress, D, Kris was one of a kind. We met our first day of sophomore year at UW in the boathouse and then lived just doors away in Adams dorm. D and I were instant friends and became better friends as the years progressed. D had a way about him, with building relationships, disarming people with his broad smile, lankiness and deep voice.
He was a force as a friend, father, husband, coach and colleague.
If you know me, you've likely heard me talk about him and how hard his cancer diagnosis was on him and all who supported him. But his attitude was absolutely incredible and his appreciation for all who cared for him--at UW Carbone along with family & friends never ceased through his battle.
CANCER SUCKS, IT DID THEN AND IT DOES NOW. But with your helpful donation (any amount will do)--it goes straight to UW cancer research and clinics.
Please help me honor Dressler's memory with your donation.
My family and I will be walking/running this Sunday but you can donate through mid-October!
I miss my best friend, deeply and daily, but know he would be proud of our efforts to help others diagnosed with cancer fight for their lives.
Thank you!
Love, Tracey
I am proudly helping accelerate cancer research and patient treatment initiatives forward at the University of Wisconsin through my involvement in Badger Challenge - an annual walking, running, and biking event which powers the brightest cancer minds, ideas and technologies at UW. We all have been affected by cancer in some way and more needs to be done to combat this terrible disease.
The Badger Challenge's mission is to give 100% of all participant-raised dollars (yes, every penny!) to the most promising UW cancer initiatives both in the laboratory and clinic setting. Since 2016, Badger Challenge has raised over $3.6 million and what’s best of all is our ability to see where the money goes as Badger Challenge presents their Scholars each year!
Badger Challenge takes place in September and 100% of all dollars-raised are presented to the newly announced Scholar Class by January of the next year. This is done quickly so the funds can make an impact in the labs and hospital helping patients and families immediately.
Help me support Badger Challenge and its UW cancer mission. All contributions are appreciated - whether it is $5 or $500, every dollar counts and you can be assured that every dollar you give goes back to the cause and helping those affected by cancer.
If you are unable to make a monetary donation at this point, please help us reach our goal by sharing this page with others on social media! Even better, send an email to friends you think might be interested in contributing or joining Badger Challenge and include a link to our page.
To learn more about Badger Challenge (and to sign up yourself!) please go to BadgerChallenge.org.
Thank you so much for your generosity! Together we can help write the story that ends cancer!
