our story

The Beginning

The Beginning

The Beginning

In January 2021 on the eve of his 50th birthday, Paul Hartley, Vice President and founding member of OSCC discovered he had Stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma. 


As a father of two college-age daughters, he knew he had to fight this with everything he had if he wanted to see his daughters’ graduate college, walk them down the aisle, or become a grandfather.

There he met Dr. Bradley McGregor who just completed a 16-month clinical trial exploring the effectiveness of an immunotherapy combination drug in patients with advanced cancers. Dr. McGregor is actively involved in clinical research at Dana-Farber and explained to Paul that there are so many advancements today for cancer treatments due to research and clinical trials.

 Shawn Fagan, a lifelong friend, classmate, and teammate of Paul’s had been participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge for several years, raising money to support Dana-Farber’s effort to cure cancer.


Shawn’s effort touched Paul. Even though he is actively fighting cancer, he knew he wanted to help. When Shawn invited Paul to ride with him in the next Pan-Mass Challenge, he did not hesitate. Now, together they are training to do the 100-mile challenge in August. 

OSCC

The Beginning

Inspiration

With the help of family and friends, Ocean State Cancer Crushers was born. Each year we will host several fundraising events all to support cancer research, treatment, and support. Each member of our organization has a strong passion for supporting our community in the fight against cancer. 

“The guys playing on the line in front of PJ and I had to block for us so we could move the ball further down the field. We had to work as a team to advance and score. Beating cancer is a team effort. What could be more special than a group of old friends coming together for this common goal?”
