I started riding 21 years ago and at that point, cancer really hadn't affected me. Today, I can't say the same thing. Over the years cancer has become a brutal and harsh reality of life. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, colleagues, and Pedal Partners. I've witnessed people I love dearly battle the horrible disease. I've met too many parents of young children that have been shattered by a cancer diagnosis.

This year, my ride carries extra meaning as I honor two people who made lasting impacts on our team:

Wendy Horn shaped our team for more than 20 years and she was my PMC Mom. We lost her to pancreatic cancer in February.

Tyler Stowe Robinson, who was our Pedal Partner in 2022. He made a lasting impact on us, and his Mom rides with our team. He was only 18 when osteosarcoma took him from us in February.

We Get To Do This

Wendy always reminded our team that riding the PMC is a gift. She'd say we get to do this - and she was right. We are so lucky to be healthy enough to ride 192 miles and raise money for Dana-Farber.

Thank You

In 2025, I surpassed $100,000 lifetime fundraising. This milestone is only possible because of supporters like you who have believed in this cause and contributed year after year. It feels especially meaningful to hit $100K this year, riding in memory of Wendy and Tyler.

Every dollar goes directly to Dana-Farber's doctors and researchers working to treat patients, invent treatments, and discover cures.

In honor of fighters and survivors:

Wolfie, Evelyn, Aunt Bernie, Stacy, Jen, Tyler, Beth, Ford, Little Mike, Kathi, Cathy, Sarah, Belle, Damon, Kristin, Alexa and Hayden
