Fidelia butt7/6/2023 Even though this is a difficult time for him and his family, he has found a way to be positive in battling cancer while simultaneously connecting with his generous friends and family. Jon is an inspiring cyclist for his commitment to the cause. They believe the Challenge will be a perfect place to continue their athletic rival for a great cause. Both brothers have been cycling for years despite taking breaks during medical school and busy work schedules. Jon and Joseph are also looking to bring in a little healthy competition to the ride. He thought he would raise about $1,000 through his fundraising efforts, and was genuinely shocked to see he now is on the hook for over $4,000 from his own pocket! His emails described his personal connection to cancer and the Canary Challenge, and pledged to match dollar for dollar for any donations that were made. Jonathan heard about the Canary Challenge through his close ties to Stanford and is now looking forward to doing the 75k route in a few short months! Jon has already raised over $4,000 through his fundraising emails to friends and family. Jon, an anesthesiologist for Kaiser Santa Clara, is a long time cyclist riding in his first Canary Challenge this September. This proactive approach to standing up for cancer grabbed the attention of the Canary Foundation and now we’d like to share his story with you. Instead of letting the cancer take over their lives, Jon and his brother Joseph decided to raise money for early cancer detection through their cycling in the Canary Challenge. Despite the difficult time, his family was able to overcome the diagnosis with both grace and bravery, noted Jon. The shock of the diagnosis was unnerving for Jon and his close-knit family. His sister in law Lisa was recently diagnosed with breast cancer despite no family history of breast cancer and being too young for a screening mammogram. Like most Americans living in the 21 st century, Jonathan Chow has been personally affected by cancer.
