This will be my 3rd Pan Mass Challenge. My Mom passed last year from cancer, which gave me the impetus to put myself through this again! As I get older, cancer seems to rear its ugly head in my life more frequently. My previous work families have been impacted - at Bose, DMX and Mood Media. I have felt the impact talking to friends that I should have stayed in better touch with. It is impacting my life, making sure I take advantage of every opportunity I get to enjoy life - not waiting to conventionally retire.

The ride last year raised over $66 million - the largest single sporting fund raising event in the US. As ever, I truly appreciate any support you can give me.

I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.
