I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer, with 100% of rider-raised revenue going directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.

This is my 5th year riding the Pan-Mass Challenge to raise money for the Jimmy Fund – to support cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber. I will be doing a two-day Wellesley to Provincetown ride, which is approximately 162 miles. I am riding in memory of my friend and neighbor Sandro Bruni, who recently passed away at age 23 from a very rare form of cancer for which there is still no well-established effective treatment.

In addition to training and riding, I am fundraising. Since 1980, the PMC has raised over $1 billion and this year I’ve set my personal fundraising goal at $10,000. I’m hoping I can meet and exceed that ambitious goal because of generosity of people like you. Your donation is tax deductible and 100% will go to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for treatment and research. (Race admin/expenses are paid by rider entrance fees and other sponsorships.)

I also lucky to be part of an amazing team, founded in memory of the late Kevin Fitz Fitzgerald. Kevin was a Boston political leader for 20+ years who lost his battle with cancer in 2008.
