I’m so proud to share that this will be my 4th Pan-Mass Challenge—and it’s true what they say: once you ride in the PMC, you can’t stop. Each year has been unforgettable, but the spirit of the PMC is unlike any experience and only grows stronger with every mile. It's a weekend fueled by passion, perseverance, and a deep sense of purpose shared by every single rider and supporter.

This year, I’m riding alongside my sister Rachel and Jessica—and we’re so excited for our friend Casey to join the team! My parents and my sister Leah, who usually ride with us, will be cheering from the sidelines and volunteering—roles just as vital as riding. Together, we all carry a shared mission close to our hearts.

For me, this ride is personal. My dad is a 41-year cancer survivor, and his strength—and his long-standing legacy with the PMC—is what first inspired me to ride. I still remember being little, watching him cross the finish line thinking, I want to make a difference like he does.

Now, with every ride, I carry that dream forward. And what keeps me going through 200 grueling miles isn’t just the physical challenge—it’s the purpose behind it. I think about all the lives touched by cancer. I think about how many people are suffering, and how this ride can bring even a glimmer of hope and healing to them. There are moments on the road where I see signs with names and faces—loved ones lost to cancer—and my heart breaks. But those moments remind me why I ride: to honor them, to fight for those still battling, and to help build a future without this disease.

Cancer is something we can fight—together.

By supporting Dana-Farber, we’re not just making donations—we’re funding groundbreaking research, life-saving treatments, and hope for families when they need it most. Dana-Farber is leading the way, and they’re counting on all of us to keep that momentum going.

100% of every dollar raised goes directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. That means every single donation—no matter the size—truly matters.

This year, I’ve set a goal to raise $6,000, and I know that with your help, we can reach it. Your support—whether it's a donation, words of encouragement, or simply sharing this story—means the world to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Thank you for believing in this cause. And thank you for helping bring hope to so many who need it.
