**30 Minute Moto Challenge: Support My ALK-Positive Cancer Fundraiser**

In May of 2023, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with stage 4 ALK-positive lung cancer, which had spread to my brain, liver, and bones. It was a devastating blow, but thanks to the incredible support of my family, friends, and community, I found strength in the midst of uncertainty.

Since then, I have been on a journey marked by both challenges and moments of hope. As of December 2023, I am grateful to say that my condition has remained stable, with encouraging scan results that continue to give us optimism for the future. My faith has been a rock throughout this experience, reminding me that God is walking beside me every step of the way. My wife and I have been together since high school, sharing 21 years of love and partnership, and together we are blessed to raise four wonderful children—plus our loyal dog and six ducks who bring laughter to our home.

Now, I want to turn this fight into action. That’s why I created the **30 Minute Moto Challenge**—a way to combine my love of motocross with raising awareness and funds for life-saving research. I’m riding to support **Dr. Lam’s groundbreaking vaccine clinical trial**, which has the potential to be a game-changer for ALK-positive patients like me and so many others.

Your support—whether through a donation, sharing this story, or even just words of encouragement—means the world. Every act of kindness fuels this fight and helps bring hope to families facing the same battle.

Let’s ride together toward a future with better treatments and brighter possibilities. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey.

With gratitude,

30 Minute Moto Challenge: Support ALK-Positive Cancer

Extending and improving the lives of people with ALK+ lung cancer by raising funds for research and patient support programs.

**Our Vision**

We envision a world where ALK+ lung cancer is a chronic or even curable condition and the next person diagnosed with lung cancer does not have to live under the current stigma.

**Our Start**

\#SweatForBreath started as a grassroots fundraising campaign during Lung Cancer Awareness Month in 2023. After being diagnosed with Stage IV ALK+ lung cancer in November 2022, David Cornbrooks became keenly aware that he was benefiting from the selfless fundraising and awareness efforts of the patients before him.

[Listen to David's story here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWcS-yN7Qxw)

The \#SweatForBreath campaign in 2023 became David, and his wife, Lisa’s, way to help the next generation ALK+ lung cancer patients.

\#SweatForBreath accelerated beyond more than just a typical fundraiser.  The initiative quickly evolved into a community of patients, caregivers, family, and friends seeking to make David and Lisa's vision a reality and the road to that vision more tolerable. People donated, sweat at the in-person cycle event, posted on social media, and helped fundraise through organizing group walks, selling art, "gifting" donations on behalf of clients, and much more.

Their success in 2023 compelled David and Lisa to officially transition the \#SweatForBreath campaign into the Sweat For Breath Foundation, operating through a fiscal sponsorship with Players Philanthropy Fund, a Maryland charitable trust recognized by IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal Tax ID: 27-6601178).

**Our Impact**

Since 2023, over **1,450 donors** have given nearly **$400,000** to the Foundation (or its predecessor campaign). 100% of the proceeds have gone directly to The Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Center in Baltimore, MD to support Dr. Vincent Lam’s ALK+ lung cancer research.

This support provided the critical funding needed to launch Dr. Lam’s clinic trial, which will evaluate the safety of a cancer peptide vaccine to prevent or delay acquired resistance in advanced ALK+ lung cancer patients currently on ALK targeted therapy. Dr. Lam’s vaccine is the **first ALK+ vaccine in the world** to be tested in a clinical trial. Dr. Lam administered the vaccine to the first patient **in clinic on May 13, 2024**!
