The Cost of Standing Still

Cancer has a way of rewriting everything—how we spend our days, what we fear, who we become. Whether you're in the fight right now, watching someone you love go through it, or carrying the scars of what you've already survived, you know this truth: waiting for someone else to fix this isn't enough.

Cancer doesn't stand still. And neither should we.

Every day we delay is another family blindsided. Another treatable case caught too late. Another breakthrough that stays locked in a lab because funding fell short. 1,700 people will be diagnosed with cancer today. Many could have been helped by the research we're not funding fast enough, the screenings we're not promoting widely enough, the support systems we're not building strongly enough.

But here's what action looks like: When you skate with us, you're not just processing your own pain—you're preventing someone else's. Every dollar raised accelerates research. Every mile covered spreads awareness that saves lives. Every person who joins us creates a movement cancer can't ignore.

This is the moment. Not someday. Not when it's more convenient. Now—while families are fighting for tomorrow, while researchers are this close to breakthroughs, while your energy can still make the difference between a statistic and a survivor.

Skate with us. Because the only thing worse than what cancer has taken is knowing we could have done more to stop it.

About the Founder

Leibl Cohen fell in love with artistic roller skating as a child and carried that passion into his early adult life. When he was diagnosed with cancer years later, he returned to the rink—not for medals, but for mental clarity and joy. Skating gave him purpose beyond the diagnosis.

To his surprise, his talent quickly drew attention. Soon he was back in competition, earning medals at local, regional, and national events—even as recently as age 75. Through determination and passion, Leibl redefined what was possible.

“Cancer Can’t Catch Us” was born from this journey. It’s more than a fundraiser—it’s a fusion of Leibl’s fight against cancer and his lifelong love for skating.
