BellRinger 2025 — This is Ours. The funds raised by the BellRinger Community are not just supporting lifesaving discoveries; they are accelerating them. They are empowering scientists to ask the bold questions, to pursue innovative ideas, and to push the boundaries of what’s possible. This is our opportunity to positively impact the future of cancer research and care with Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. We never know which dollar will be the one to find a cure, but it is our responsibility to fight for more of them. Registration for BellRinger 2025 opens Monday, March 3! #GearUpEndCancer https://lnkd.in/ewp5yKun

Halfway through his 50-mile bike ride, Bryan Weselman (M’30, G’30) looked up. Dotted along the side of the road were signs. They had quotes like, “My dad taught me how to ride a bike. Today I am riding for him,” written by family members of people who had cancer. He began to tear up. He remembered why he was biking BellRinger, a ride to raise money for cancer research. “I started to think how fortunate I am to continue with my life, and there are a lot of people who aren’t that lucky,” he said. “I want people to have the same opportunity that I do to bounce back and have the sigh of relief that it’s over.” Just a few months earlier, Weselman had been a cancer patient himself. A year and a half into medical school at Georgetown, he was diagnosed with cancer. Weselman was pursuing his M.D./Ph.D. in the Tumor Biology program, and was a few months away from beginning the Ph.D. track of the dual degree program. While his classmates studied for an exam, he underwent chemotherapy at Georgetown’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center in MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. He couldn’t play soccer or see friends as often as he used to. He had trouble focusing while studying. He was exhausted just walking around his house. “I was much more restricted than I thought I’d be,” he said. “I was isolated from a lot of people, which is a small price to pay, but small things I didn’t know.” Weselman had taken courses on cancer in medical school and worked in cancer research labs prior to coming to Georgetown. Medically, he knew what was happening to his body. He just didn’t know how it would feel. “I would watch my white blood cell counts fluctuate, and sometimes I thought it was cool,” he said. “Other times, it was frightening, because I know how few cells that is to have.” Weselman took time off for treatment, and when he finished, he studied at an expedited rate to stay on track. He passed the first of his medical boards, and in April 2024, began the Ph.D. track of his program alongside his classmates. https://bit.ly/40yoW7I

On October 13th, 2023, our colleague Craig Casterella Jr.’s life changed dramatically. With no family history or genetic warning, he was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Today, we’re proud to share that Craig is in remission, but his journey is far from over. This October, Craig will take on the BellRinger event in Washington, DC—cycling 100 miles to raise $5,000 for cancer research. Having battled cancer firsthand, completing this 100-mile ride is not only a testament to Craig's endurance and resilience but also a powerful statement of hope and perseverance. It’s a reminder that no matter how tough the journey, we must keep fighting and pushing forward every day. Whether through fundraising, sharing his story, or simply showing up—Craig is determined to make a tangible impact. His journey continues to inspire us all at American Christmas, and we proudly support his mission by donating $1,000 to his fundraiser, helping him get one step closer to his goal of $5,000. Let’s cheer Craig on as he rides not just for himself, but for all those who continue to fight. ??If you wish to support Craig and everyone else affected by cancer, donate to Craig’s ride here:?https://lnkd.in/eS9ypCBg Here, you can read more about Craig’s inspiring journey: https://lnkd.in/eYnUzs9D #CancerResearch #Bellringer2024 #Resilience #StrongerTogether
