My inspirations are my dad, who has been cancer-free since 2007, and my dear friend Matt Shea, who passed away in 2013 at age 27 after a courageous ten year battle with cancer. I miss him every day.

I was fortunate enough to work at the Pan-Mass Challenge for six and half years. I saw the joy and determination on the faces of so many riders and this year I'll be volunteering to support them! The PMC is the most successful athletic fundraising event in the country and it's not hard to see why. The goal for 2024 is $75 million and, since 1980, the PMC has raised $972 million, with 100% of every rider-raised dollar going directly to Dana-Farber for lifesaving cancer research and treatment.

I hope that you’ll consider donating to such an important cause!
