Team Schaefer's Story

Hi Friends - I'm really excited to be participating in the 2025 Breakthrough Challenge on Sunday, September 14th! I'll be riding alongside my best friend, Ryan Schaefer to help raise money for Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center to support his dad, Michael Schaefer who has been battling melanoma since 2017. The endless love and kindness I've received from the Schaefer family has had a huge impact on my life and now I want to be there for them. This family means so much to me, and this cause is close to my heart. 

Please read and share Michael Schaefer's story and donate if you're able to. Finding a cure is something we can all work toward together, one step, one donation, one act of kindness at a time.

By Stock Transfer

The Breakthrough Challenge has established an account at Morgan Stanley to facilitate two specific gifting strategies: (1) Donation of appreciated securities & (2) Qualified Charitable Donations from retirement accounts. From a tax perspective, these may be superior to cash gifts. We strongly encourage donors to consult with their tax advisors about their specific situation.
