I’m honored to ride in the Pan-Mass Challenge—the most powerful athletic fundraising event in the country—driving us Closer by the Mile to a cure for cancer.

Since 1980, PMC riders have raised over $1 billion for life-saving cancer research, treatment, and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, one of the nation’s leading cancer hospitals. Every pedal stroke, every dollar, every mile fuels the relentless pursuit of a cure.

And here’s the best part: 100% of every dollar I raise goes directly to Dana-Farber, turning generosity into immediate impact.

But this ride isn’t just about numbers. It’s personal.

Cancer has touched my family more times than I can count. I ride for those in the fight, for those we’ve lost, and for the warriors who have battled and won. But recently one of those warriors is my Aunt Ann —fierce, beautiful, and unbreakable. Diagnosed with Breast Cancer last year, she refuses to let cancer define her. She is my inspiration, my reason to push harder.

I also ride for my wife’s family, who have felt cancer’s devastating grip. Her cousin was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at just two years old—but she fought with unimaginable strength. Today, she stands victorious. Cured. Her story is a testament to why this mission matters.

And then there’s previous family members—Aunt Rose, Uncle Bill, Grandmother Trudy, Nana Esther, and Grandfathers Frank & Chet—each of whom faced this horrible disease head-on and won. Their strength, resilience, and determination remind me why we fight, why we ride, and why we will never stop until cancer is defeated for good.

This ride is bigger than me. It’s for the fighters. The survivors. The ones we’ve lost too soon.

Join me. Donate today and help me reach my goal—because together, we can change lives.
