This is our family's sixth year participating in the PMC and each year that passes we become more inspired to ride the 200 miles because the sad reality is that each year we know more people that are fighting or have lost their fight to the disease. This year looks a little different for our team since Caroline will be ~8 months pregnant and will not be riding. Instead, Marty will join Bill for the 200-mile trek.

We ride to celebrate cancer survivors, support those currently battling the disease, and honor those that have lost their lives to the disease.

Too many of my friends and their friends and families have been adversely affected by cancer.

Our two-day bike from Sturbridge to Provincetown raises money for life-saving cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Jimmy Fund. All of the money we raise (100% of it) will go directly to the Research Group at Dana-Farber. The money we raise affects the ability of doctors and researchers to find cures and treatments for cancer. In our best fundraising year, we have raised over $35,000 – we hope to beat that this year.

We hope you will please consider supporting our family as we take on the Pan-Mass Challenge and join us in making a difference in the fight against cancer.

Thank you all so much!

Team Brut Force (Bill, Marty, Caroline, and Emily)
