Hello everyone-- it's a new year, and a new me, and I have committed once again to riding the Pan-Mass Challenge in 2024.

This is an exciting year for several reasons:

- Foremost, it is another year for us all to show that we can band together and fight cancer - 100% of all funds donated to riders goes to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. And a new fact (to me) this year is that the PMC represents 62% of Dana-Farber's annual revenue!

- Next, this year, the PMC will surpass the $1 billion fundraising mark since 1980. That's a lot of lettuce, and I am proud that we have been a part of this since 2008 (just this past year, you have helped me surpass the $150,000 mark in personal fundraising, which still amazes and humbles me).

- Last, I am astounded at the number of you who supported me in 2023, despite my inability to ride as I recovered from cardiac surgery. I am back on the bike, and determined to rejoin the thousands of PMC riders as we journey to Provincetown in August.

As always, thank you for supporting my ride and joining in the fight against cancer!
