Welcome to the
STRIDE Cancer Foundation
Cultivating the Next Generation of Researchers
At the STRIDE Cancer Foundation, we are dedicated to uncovering the powerful role of nutrition and movement in cancer prevention and treatment. We provide early-stage support to aspiring researchers, helping them share their work, gain experience, and build careers at the intersection of exercise, nutrition, and oncology.
STRIDE stands for Strengthening Treatments with Research Integrating Diet and Exercise, because every step forward in research brings us closer to a healthier future.
Make a difference today.
Your support fuels the next generation of researchers exploring the vital connection between exercise, nutrition, and cancer care. Every donation helps:
Fund student researchers through our NEO grant programs, providing undergraduate and graduate students with critical support for conference travel, abstract submissions, and early research opportunities.
Raise awareness about the powerful role of exercise and nutrition in cancer therapy, informing patients, doctors, and the public about life-changing research.
Build a lasting impact by helping us establish STRIDE as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, ensuring continued funding for groundbreaking research in exercise and nutrition oncology.
Every dollar brings us one step closer to better treatments, stronger recoveries, and a healthier future.
"As a scientist, I’ve spent 20 years studying skeletal muscle physiology and human performance. For the past decade, I’ve mentored students who have gone on to successful careers in research and clinical practice.
After my own cancer diagnosis and treatment journey, I knew I wanted to do more. Determined to merge my scientific expertise with my personal experience, I set out to make a meaningful impact for others facing similar challenges. I’ve seen firsthand how exercise improves outcomes before, during, and after cancer treatment. That’s why I founded the STRIDE Cancer Foundation—to bridge the gap between research and real-world impact, empowering the next generation of scientists to advance the role of movement and nutrition in cancer care.”
