I’m excited to share that I’ll be participating in my second ride in the Pan Mass Challenge with Team Dassault. While my experience working with patients with illness, imbalance, and pain brought me to the Pan Mass Challenge first, knowing the strength of those close to me that have survived cancer, and the pain of the families for those who have not that brought me back again.

We’ve all been touched by cancer in some way, and while we’ve fostered a culture of support and resilience, the community of those left when a battle is lost is growing far too much everyday. I ride this year for all my patients whose strength, courage and determination has been inspiring during their battles, but also for two individuals close to my heart. Marisa Federico and Bruce Wood were two of the most vibrant, loving, beautiful people I’ve had the great privilege to know. They worked to make the world a better place, and deserved so much more time than they got. These are two of the very many reasons I am riding, and the two I am dedicating this ride towards.

While participating in this ride is a challenge I’m excited to begin, I’m asking for your help in fundraising towards my goal of $5,000. Any and all donations to this worthy cause are appreciated as 100% of these donations will support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure. Please consider donating to my ride via the link below. If you’d like to donate via check, please reach out to me at mary@maryeganacupuncture.com.
