I knew I had to raise the stakes and help out more. Not just with fundraising for childhood cancer, but by using my skills to help solve problems directly related to the efforts being done to advance childhood cancer research to find more effective treatments. I didn’t know if I could be of any help with solving anything, but I knew one thing for sure, if I did nothing, I would not be any help at all.
My decision coincided with changes in my role and level of involvement in the company I founded, managed, and co-managed for 18 years - Solution Street, a software engineering company in Northern Virginia. By the end of 2019, I decided to take a step back from co-running the company. I was fortunate to have a wonderful business partner who was able to take over and have a company with great people who could continue to thrive.
Although I still tended to my company in several key areas, I knew with the extra free time I had, I could volunteer more. Thanks to a supportive wife and children who also believed in the cause to eradicate childhood cancer and improve the lives of patients, I wanted to use my extra time to focus on one area. Of course, after many years of being involved, my focus was childhood cancer. Having been extraordinarily fortunate in my life, it was now time to give back.
At the beginning of 2020, I emailed a number of childhood cancer research centers at Universities and Hospitals around the country offering myself as a volunteer, specifically in areas related to software engineering. I received no response from any of these organizations. Undeterred, I reached out to a friend who I met through the childhood cancer community, Andrea Verdone from Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer. Andrea is a relentless, inspiring advocate. She immediately introduced me to Dr. Charles Keller at cc-TDI. When Dr. Keller and I spoke we immediately connected. He accepted my offer to help as a volunteer and I am now involved with several projects including machine learning to predict rhabdomyosarcoma subtypes in tissue samples, writing case studies, and others. I am truly honored to be part of this great organization with such an incredible mission, and to work alongside so many dedicated researchers, engineers, families and volunteers striving so hard to bring new therapies to children who desperately need them.
