Cycling Fundraiser Will Honor Memory Of Late Livingston Native

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Good deeds continue to be accomplished in the name of late Livingston native Jennifer Goodman Linn.

A Cycle for Survival fundraising event will take place on Saturday, March 1 and Sunday, March 2 at Equinox Fitness, 68 River Road in Summit. The indoor spinning party – which will benefit Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center – will include multiple ride times. Learn more here.

During the seven years that the Livingston resident battled malignant fibrous histiocytoma sarcoma of the abdomen, Linn started Cycle for Survival, an annual cycling fundraiser. From 2007 until her death in 2011, it raised $9 million for rare cancer research. The annual event continues more than a decade after her passing.

Memorial Sloan Kettering in Manhattan now has a room named for Linn, the Jennifer Goodman Linn Laboratory of New Drug Development In Sarcoma and Rare Cancers. Read More: NJ Woman Died Of Rare Cancer At 40, But Started A Movement
