Julia Buchanan's story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I am choosing to ride in this event in honor of our UC School of Human Services colleague, Liliana Rojas-Guyler, who has been battling her cancer diagnosis since fall 2023. She has undergone months of chemotherapy, surgery, and now radiation -- all the while planning her own advocacy and preventive screening events (more information on that below)! Her strength and positivity through this have been so inspiring, and we cannot wait to have her smiling face back on campus again soon.

I also ride in memory of the family members I have lost to cancer, and to raise awareness about the great work of the Cancer Wellness programs here locally with UC Health and TriHealth. These programs help lead those who are undergoing cancer treatment or who have finished treatment within the past year to good health through exercise - to increase energy levels, strength, and endurance and improve outcomes. Exercise oncology is an emerging discipline in cancer care continuum with compelling evidence supporting positive outcomes.
