This August, I’ll be participating in my 16th Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) as both a rider and a volunteer. Over the weekend of August 2–3, I’ll ride 160 miles with a personal fundraising goal of $6,000. This year, the PMC’s overall goal is an incredible $76 million.

This year I’m dedicating my ride to two close friends Bill Carnes & Tom Petty.

Bill Carnes was a former Dell colleague who sadly lost his battle with cancer this past February. Bill had a remarkable career spanning over 35 years at Data General, EMC, and Dell Technologies. He was deeply respected, widely liked and a true team player. Even while undergoing treatment, Bill continued to check in on colleagues—always putting others first. He leaves behind a loving family: his wife Nancy, and their three children—Sean, Lauren, and Matthew.

Tom Petty lost his battle to cancer during the fall of 2023. He was an incredible inspiration to those around him during his treatment and final period of his life. He taught me so much. He was on my back during last year's 24’ ride. Tom leaves behind his wife Lynn and his son Nicholas.

Just a reminder 100% of every rider-raised dollar goes directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, making the PMC the single largest contributor to The Jimmy Fund®, accounting for over 50% of its annual revenue.

If you’re able to support my fundraising efforts this year, I would be truly grateful. Your donation will make a real difference in the fight against cancer.

Thank you for your support.
