Why I Ride,

As a Massachusetts citizen I had been hearing about the Pan Mass Challenge for years and, as a former club racer, I always thought that I should do the ride. In 2014 I took the plunge to kick a little cancer's ass. My first major sponsor was Martha Lindsay, whose husband was treated by Ken Anderson's clinic treating Multiple Myeloma. Her husband Bob was treated by Ken and Bob lived more years than hoped for before succumbing to cancer's scourge. Since then my sponsors have expanded to include friends whose loved ones died from cancer or are living proof that treating cancer improves every day. I ride as a member of the Patriots Platelet Pedalers since all rider supported funds go to Dr. Anderson's clinic. I ride because I am still able. 100 % of your rider supported donation goes directly to Dana Farber. If you are able to support my ride, in any amount, please do so. It is my honor to write the name of someone dear to you who is living proof that treatment works or have succumbed to cancer. I ride in honor of them.

thank you
