The 40th<\/sup> Prouty, New England\u2019s largest family-friendly fundraising event, concluded this weekend with a record-breaking success of raising more than $4 million in support of cancer research and patient and family support services at Dartmouth\u2019s and Dartmouth-Hitchcock\u2019s Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This year\u2019s Prouty was a hybrid event with supporters participating virtually from June 1-July 11, 2021, and golfing, cycling and walking July 9-11. Despite the ongoing pandemic, more than 2,500 participants and volunteers joined the effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never experienced anything like The Prouty before coming here as the director of the Norris Cotton Cancer Center,\u201d said Steven D. Leach, MD. \u201cIt is inspiring the way our community gets involved and rallies around the Cancer Center to support cancer research and patient and family support services. This year\u2019s event and fundraising effort was astonishing. I was thrilled to ride 100 miles with a dedicated group of Cancer Center supporters and cancer survivors. I am already looking forward to bringing everyone back together for next year\u2019s Prouty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The level of virtual participation was truly inspiring with large groups of participants creating their own Prouty. All around the country people participated by rowing, hiking, kayaking, gravel riding and many century bike rides.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cCancer is personal and impacts too many people we love. For 40 years our community has come together to change that and to make a difference,\u201d said Jaclynn Rodriguez, executive director for the Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center. \u201cThe Prouty brings hope and care to cancer patients and their families, and for all future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Prouty began in 1982 when four NCCC nurses, inspired by the courage of their patient, Audrey Prouty, committed to cycling 100 miles through the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Over the past 40 years, thousands of passionate individuals have come together to bike, walk, row, golf and more to make a difference. Since its inception, The Prouty has raised more than $46 million to support cancer research and patient and family support services. Thank you to all that have made this possible.<\/p>\n
