Hi Friends,

This August, I’m riding the Pan-Mass Challenge again to fund cancer research that truly saves lives. Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with melanoma in situ, the earliest stage of melanoma. I’m incredibly grateful it was caught early—and it’s a stark reminder that cancer can touch any of us, and not everyone is as lucky.

This year, I’m pledging to raise $6,000 to support the Perry Fellowship at Dana-Farber through Team Perry. This fellowship has driven discoveries leading to new drug targets and critical insights into why gastrointestinal cancer which represent almost 1/4 of all new cancer diagnosis and 1/3 of the cancer deaths and lung cancer resist treatment. Your donations fuel these breakthroughs, bringing hope to patients and families faster. Every dollar you give goes directly to cancer research.

Thank you for standing with me and with everyone fighting cancer.
