I'm embarking on this three day journey to the White Mountains because I'm passionate about helping others. With so much wealth in our sector and society, I feel strongly that our neighbors shouldn't have to go without basic needs and access to opportunity. Please give so we can dismantle poverty and help our community.  

As a physician and someone who has been in the biotech world for many years, it's not enough to make new medicines- we need to ensure the basics of life are available for as many people as possible. Growing up in a middle class household in NYC, I was given many privileges- never having to worry about money for food, housing, or education.  Unfortunately, too many people don't have the privileges I have, which motivates me to make a difference. I believe Life Science Cares has made and will continue to make a meaningful impact on the inequity we see everyday in our cities. Our industry can and must try and make a difference- please "climb" with me to make an impact.
