  Mr. KENNEDY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 
incredible impact of IceCycle Buffalo, an annual fundraising event held 
in Buffalo, New York, where participants engage in 45-minute indoor 
cycling sessions on ice to raise funds for cancer research and patient 
care programs at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
  This unique event brings together 13 fitness studios and 
approximately 1,600 riders. Participants will take part in a 45-minute 
cycling class on ice, all while raising funds for crucial research and 
programs at Roswell Park. Now in its fifth year, the Western New York 
fitness community is once again coining together for cancer patients 
everywhere. Each pedal stroke on their bike makes participants part of 
something bigger--helping to shape the future of cancer care and 
research.
  Each year, more than 49,000 patients trust Roswell Park with their 
cancer journeys. By supporting IceCycle Buffalo, participants are 
ensuring that Roswell Park researchers and clinicians can continue to 
innovate and bring the newest, most cutting-edge treatments and 
technologies to cancer patients. Roswell Park develops cancer-fighting 
methods that were mere hopes a decade ago. With the help of donor 
support through events like IceCycle Buffalo, groundbreaking 
advancements are being made in the way cancer is diagnosed, treated, 
and ultimately cured.
  Mr. Speaker, Roswell Park is committed to the care of the whole 
person. Their work extends beyond medical treatment to include the 
mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness of every patient. 
Participants in IceCycle Buffalo help to guarantee that Roswell Park's 
leading experts can continue to run quality of life programs that 
support every patient and caregiver who steps through their doors. 
Through events like IceCycle Buffalo and the dedicated efforts of 
everyone involved, residents in Western New York continue making 
incredible strides in the fight against cancer, and we are all the 
better for it.
