About Cycle for Survival
Timothy (Tim) Maleck serves as a financial associate in New York City. In addition to his work in the investment sector, Timothy Maleck participates in fundraising events for cancer research such as Relay for Life and Cycle for Survival.
A fundraising initiative sponsored by Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center, Cycle for Survival raises money for vital research into new treatments for rare cancers, such as brain, ovarian, and pancreatic. These types of cancer don’t often see the same research dollars invested into finding new treatments as do other, more common types of cancer. That’s why MSK launched Cycle for Survival, which directs 100 percent of all money raised through cycling fundraiser events toward research into how these diseases work and what treatments can be used to fight them.

Travel Safety Tip - Skip the Money Belt
Timothy (Tim) Maleck serves as a financial associate for a large New York City-based asset management firm, where he provides financial analysis for team members and financial performance reports for investors. Outside of work, Tim Maleck likes to travel.
Regardless of how safe a travel destination is generally, all travelers should be wary of pickpockets. One proposed solution is a money belt, a belt you wear under your clothes that you can use to store cash, cards, and other valuables. While the idea sounds convenient, the money belt might not be your smartest option - here’s why.
The purpose of a money belt is to hide your valuables while still giving you access when needed, but when it comes time to pay for something, you have to fiddle with your clothing and likely lift your shirt to access the necessary items. Simply accessing your cash or plastic ruins any discretion your money belt provided and alerts any nearby pickpockets to the location of your valuables, which you have unfortunately stored all in one place.
Instead, consider dividing your valuables and distributing them among multiple locations. Leave the majority of your cards and cash in your hotel safe, if available, only taking what you will need each day. Divide the funds you do take into different pockets. This helps to ensure that, should a pickpocket target you, he or she will only get a small portion of the money you're carrying.

Types of Rugby Boot by Position
A financial industry professional in New York City, Timothy “Tim” Maleck is also an accomplished athlete. While working toward his master of science in accounting at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Timothy Maleck competed as part of the school's nationally-ranked rugby team.
When choosing rugby boots, a player's position is an important consideration. Those who play as “tight five” forwards, for example, spend much of their time on the field in close proximity to other players and are thus more likely to be stepped on. Sturdier boots provide more protection for these players, while footwear with strong grips help them to retain their footing as they push forward.
Forwards who play closer to the rear also require protection, but these players' boots tend to be lighter than those in the first or second row. This provides more power and stability as the players provide defense. Many loose forwards also look for lateral or torsion control to offer support during rapid direction changes.
Backs tend to also prefer lighter boots, which allow them to maintain higher levels of speed. Because these players often sacrifice stability for lighter weight, some manufacturers remove studs to reduce shoe weight. Other shoe makers are now responding by offering removable or molded studs to increase traction without adding bulk.
Shoes for kickers are also lighter, though they have a special configuration that includes a targeted kicking spot designed for distance and accuracy. Kicker shoes also provide strong grip so that the player can balance in the standing leg. They are also lighter than forwards' shoes, yet sturdier than those worn by the backs.

Connor McDavid's MVP Season
The recipient of a master's degree in accounting from SUNY at Buffalo, Timothy "Tim" Maleck is a financial associate based in New York City. Outside of his professional responsibilities, Timothy Maleck enjoys a variety of athletic pursuits, including hockey.
Arguably the world's best hockey player, Connor McDavid put himself into the conversation last season by winning the National Hockey League's (NHL) Hart Trophy, which is awarded annually to the league's most valuable player. The 20-year-old Edmonton Oilers center led the league in scoring with 100 points in 82 games and was the third-youngest player in league history to win the award. Additionally, he won the Ted Lindsay Award, which is given to the most outstanding player based on votes from his peers.
McDavid received 147 of a possible 167 first-place votes for the Hart Trophy and finished ahead Sidney Crosby and Sergei Bobrovsky, who had 14 and four first-place votes respectively. The third-year pro appears poised to potentially repeat as Hart Trophy winner in 2017-18; in the Oilers' first game of the season against the Calgary Flames, McDavid scored three goals for his second career hat trick.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Works to Improve Cancer Detection
Based in New York City, Timothy (Tim) Maleck maintains a well-established presence as a financial analyst. A member of the Delta Sigma Pi co-ed professional business fraternity, Timothy Maleck also participates in fundraising events for cancer such as Relay for Life and Cycle for Survival.
Established a decade ago, Cycle for Survival has a unique focus on rare cancers and has raised more than $140 million toward more than 100 research projects and clinical trials undertaken by the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center. An example of one of MSK’s current projects is the development of a mass spec workflow that will provide increased sensitivity beyond conventional measures. The focus is on the measurement of biological sample peptides at the zeptomolar-concentration level.
Results thus far are promising and although the single-molecule detection level has not been reached, detection is within the “hundreds of molecules” range. The end result is that quantitative measurements of profile pathways within patient samples is becoming more accurate. In particular, it addresses those cancers for which only small patient samples exist and there are not good antibodies to detect.

Cycling, a Morning or Evening Activity?
An Accounting graduate at the State University of New York in Buffalo, Timothy “Tim” Maleck works as a financial analyst. In his free time, Timothy Maleck enjoys riding bicycles in New York City.
What’s the best time to ride a bike, morning or afternoon? The answer is, anytime! Clocking at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity every day is great for your body and your overall health. That said, if you want to operate at maximum efficiency then evening is the best time to ride a bike -- and if you’re looking to lose weight, morning best.
A study conducted by PLoS One engaged cyclists in 1,000-meter trials at 8 a.m., and 6 p.m. Results revealed that glucose levels were 11 percent lower at 8 a.m., causing cyclists to average a 6.5-second slower finish. While lower glucose levels reduce performance, however, they increase fat loss.
Another study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, showed that working out before having breakfast burned 20 percent more fat and reduced hunger pangs during the day. This is because the body uses glucose at night to power nocturnal body processes, leaving it depleted of glycogen in the morning. At dawn, before breakfast, the body’s primary source of fuel, carbohydrates, are lacking, forcing it to turn to its secondary source: body fat.

OperaNuts Receives Digital Marketing Tutoring through New York Cares
Timothy “Tim” Maleck is an accomplished accountant and investment professional who has served as a financial associate at a reputable Investment Manager in New York. Outside of the professional environment, Timothy Maleck is an active supporter of the charitable nonprofit New York Cares.
Specializing in linking willing volunteers with the individuals and organizations that need them, New York Cares works in fields that range from education to hunger prevention. OperaNuts and its founder/owner Rachel Roth, for example, have benefited greatly from New York Cares’ computer basics program.
A small boutique candied nut business, OperaNuts may have never gotten off the ground. While listening to the Metropolitan Opera on the radio, Ms. Roth had refined a delicious confection of almonds, chocolate, and sea salt. It was a great product, but she didn’t know how to launch it in a world of digital technology that had, frankly, left her behind.
To aid with the OperaNuts launch, Ms. Roth enrolled in the one-on-one New York Cares tutoring at the New York Public Library’s 67th Street location. Even after five years of regular Thursday afternoon meetings, she continues to take advantage of this tutoring program to this day.
Over the years, New York Cares has helped Ms. Roth and OperaNuts develop an official company website, create effective MailChimp email campaigns, and craft compelling electronic newsletters. Looking at the New York Cares volunteers as friends as well as tutors, Ms. Roth has rewarded them with many tasty OperaNuts gifts.

New York Cares Inspires Volunteers through Lead Projects Program
Timothy “Tim” Maleck has been an enthusiast volunteer dating back to his Jesuit high school roots. Timothy Maleck supports various charities including New York Cares, through which he has participated in numerous programs.
Created in 1987, New York Cares recognizes that there is a tremendous desire among New Yorkers to give back to their community, and it has designed programs to facilitate those ambitions. One of these is a program called Lead Projects, which allows qualified individuals to step up and increase their leadership skills through volunteering.
Team leaders can take the initiative to help thousands of New Yorkers in need and improve their community spaces. In doing so, they can fortify their resumes by developing management skills, or just give back to the city they cherish.
Becoming a team leader is a multi-step process that begins with taking part in at least three New York Cares projects. Once this is accomplished, a prospective team leader must attend an Introduction to Team Leading session. There, he or she will learn more about the team leader position and New York Cares’ Community Partnerships.
After a group interview, approved candidates will then receive training for the role of team leader. After training, the prospective team leaders will then choose their maiden project from among the organization’s projects in need of a leader.

Relay for Life - A Nationwide Cancer Research Fundraising Event
Timothy “Tim” Maleck is a registered Certified Public Accountant in New York. Outside of work, Timothy Maleck participates in charitable events that raise funds for cancer research, such as the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
Relay for Life supports individuals affected by cancer through a series of team fundraising events that occur throughout the country. During the race, team members make a full lap around the track before switching off with other teammates, in traditional relay fashion. The cycle continues for the full duration of the event, with one teammate on the track at all times, symbolizing cancer, which never stops or sleeps. Event lengths range between six hours and 24 hours.
A Relay for Life event begins by recognizing cancer survivors, individuals battling cancer, and caregivers with a dedicatory lap. Survivors and participants with cancer take the first lap, and caregivers take the second. The team relay begins once these laps are complete. Teammates not on the track manage their own themed tents, where they offer games and activities and continue their fundraising efforts by collecting donations, food items, and other goods. Collected donations count toward their overall fundraising goal.
The history for Relay for Life dates back to May 1985, when Dr. Gordon Klatt embarked on a mission to raise funds for the American Cancer Society through a 24-hour run/walk around a track at the University of Puget Sound. With assistance from supporters, friends, and family, he raised more than $27,000 in pledges. Dr. Klatt envisioned continuing the tradition in the years to come, with changes including team participation. Relay for Life was launched the following year with 19 participating teams.
