Eric Harris, president and chief operating officer at Cheddar, joins us to talk about the company's participation in Cycle for Survival, an indoor charity cycling event raising money for rare cancers.
Harris notes that cancer is a disease affecting almost everyone at some point in their lives. All proceeds from the charity event will go towards research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Cheddar will take part in the event on March 9, 2018. The company has already raised $18,000.

Many DNA tests on the market offer a glimpse into what makes your individual character, including who your ancestors are and some can even analyze your risk for developing certain diseases. Cheddar News spoke with Sam Beeler, chief strategy officer with Nebula Genomics; Eleanor Griffith, a certified genetic counselor; and Dr. Neil Iyengar, a medical oncologist with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center about the process involved in checking DNA and its effectiveness.
