I have the opportunity this year to ride for the Pan-Mass Challenge, a 2 day event where I with other riders will ride 190 miles across the state a Massachusetts to help raise funds to help people beat cancer. Now a days it seems we are all affected in some way by cancer if it is not yourself or a family member then its a friend or colleague that finds out that they have cancer. Some are able to fight and beat it while others like my high school friend Mike lost the fight to it in 2016. My mother and buddy (Timmy) both lost the fight to cancer before that, and many more friends & family since have had to deal with cancer in some way. It has become all too familiar.

I am asking you to help me raise funds for this good cause. If you can't donate at this time but can pass this along to someone who can that would be great.

Where do the funds go to, 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 to cancer.

All donations made online will be acknowledged with an emailed tax receipt. Donations made by check that are $250 or more, will receive a tax acknowledgement via USPS. Tax receipts will be provided upon request for any donations less than $250.

I want to thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and making a donation if possible.
