Hello Friends and Family

I am reaching out to let you know I am registered for my 3rd Pan Mass Challenge(2022) and will be physically riding 186 miles from Sturbridge MA to Providencetown, MA to raise money to fund for more innovative cancer research that saved my oldest daughter, Madeline Carlson. Madeline battled a rare bone cancer, Ewings Sarcoma, which was located in her humerous bone . This journey began in 2016 with many triips to Dana Farber in Boston MA. Madeline endured countless hours involving chemotherapy, radiation,surgeries and the loss of her hair. Althought Madeline received seriouse side effects that caused hospitalization the immunotherapy worked and to this day she is CANCER FREE!!! I am riding to help others survive this terrible disease NOW and in the FUTURE.

Madeline was in a Nationwide commercial promoting the PDL1 Trial that saved her Life.. please click on link

I will be riding also in memory of my Dad, Robin Carlson, who passed away over 3 years ago from complications from Prostate Cancer... I will have a ribbon on my jersey in memory of him and to raise awareness of this Cancer..

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 Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.

Thank you for consideration for supporting this important cause to me!!!
