Riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge has been one of the most humbling and rewarding experiences of my life. I am excited to again participate in this year's ride. Over the last three years, together we have raised over $30,000 to fund critical research and FIGHT CANCER! 100% of the funds raised went directly to funding cancer research.

This past year, the PMC raised a record $75 Million for Dana-Farber. Further, the PMC was able to surpass $1 Billion in funds raised overall.

This coming year, I am setting my fundraising goal at $11,000, and I know that with your generosity and support, we will make it.

On a personal note, cancer touches all of us in some form or another, be it via our friends, our family, or ourselves. I will ride in memory of my aunt, my cousin, and my grandfather. I will ride in hope for my friends and family fighting today, and in honor of my mother, who has battled with Non-Hodgkins lymphoma for over 20 years, and fights on today.

I look forward to sharing my journey with you!
