WHY I RIDE ...

Thank you for supporting my rides over the last 7 years. This year will be my 8th year riding the Pan Mass Challenge. This cause is still very important to me personally more than ever this year, as this disease continues to find its way into my family. I am sure you all know someone who has been touched by cancer. You can help hundreds of people fight their fight by donating to my ride this year.

This year I will be riding in memory of my father in-law Bob Milewski who recently lost his battle with this disease and my nephew Gabe's wife Ashley at age 37 has just recently been diagnosed with cancer. She is a young mother of a two year old and she needs us all behind her in this FIGHT! PLEASE HELP US IN ANYWAY YOU CAN, NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL!

I will be riding on the first weekend in August from Sturbridge, MA to Provincetown, MA and have made a commitment to raise $6,000 to help put an end to this awful disease. The PMC raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country, $455 million since 1980 and $41 million last year alone! This success is the result of a lot of people riding for, and caring about, a cure. And because every penny matters, 100 percent of your donation goes to DFCI.

Our goal is to raise $45 million this year, a half a billion dollars since 1980! The I've made a personal commitment to ride and raise $6,000. I hope you can help me achieve this significant goal.
