Thank you for visiting my page! If you are in a position to donate to my fundraising effort for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, I greatly appreciate it :) Donations of any size make a real difference!

I'm a proud participant in the Pan-Mass Challenge - a bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country - to bring us Closer by the Mile to a cure for cancer. Since its founding in 1980, PMC has raised more than $1 billion for lifesaving cancer research, treatment and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, one of the country's top cancer care and research institutions. 100 percent of every dollar raised goes directly to Dana-Farber, meaning that your donation has a real impact! You can learn more about how raised funds from the PMC are used here.

The ride itself will be 300 miles total over 3 consecutive days, spanning from the NY/MA stateline in the west to Provincetown in the east. If you are in a position to pledge $0.05, $0.10, or $0.20 per mile (equivalent to a donation of $15, $30, or $60) or more, I greatly appreciate it! I will also be sending video messages from the road to any donors of $100 or more.

2025 is my first year riding the PMC and I'm excited to be doing so with Team Nashua Rides for Hope! Team Hope is a team from across New England (and now New York!) that has been riding PMC for over 20 years, surpassing over $4 million raised for Dana Farber during that span. Our team has lost loved ones to cancer and includes several cancer survivors.

In addition to being strong riders and fundraisers, Team Hope is made up of close family friends from where I grew up in north shore Massachusetts - in 2012, Team Hope even included my mom! Watching her ride in the event was one of the highlights of that summer, and I was in awe of her preparation and commitment to the event and her fundraising. What makes this year particularly special for me is that my mom will be coming out of PMC retirement to ride alongside me and my best friend Calvin in our first Pan-Mass Challenge.

Thank you for reading :) P.S. - don't forget to check if your employer matches contributions!
