As many of you know, my dad Lawrence passed away in 2007 after a two and a half year battle with brain cancer. While he was sick, he was cared for by the absolutely amazing individuals at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, thanks in part to money raised from the PMC over the years. Since his passing, I've shadowed his incredible oncologist, Dr. Wen, ridden in the PMC four times and gone on to become a physician who has now worked with both adult and pediatric Dana Farber patients. I have seen first hand the impact that treatment at Dana Farber has on its patients, and am excited to be continuing my PMC streak this year!

I have a goal of raising at least $6000 for Dana Farber this year. This ride raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country, and every penny goes to DFCI in order to give people the chance of survival. Donations of all size are appreciated, anywhere from $5-$5000! Also, don't forget to see if your employer will match your gifts.
