I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, 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.

Like many of you, I've lost family members and close friends to cancer, and am inspired to ride not just in their memory but also for those dear to me that are currently fighting their own battles with grit, love in their hearts, and a strong resolve to rise above their diagnosis towards a future without cancer. Their strength and that of their families has motivated me once again to do all I can to raise money to support the Jimmy fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

While I'm not the most avid cyclist, I have loved the challenge of doing this with my husaband Andrew, close friend Kristin Fox and Team Velominati, and I'm hoping with your support, goodwill, and positive energy I will hit my financial goal and cross that finish line knowing that I gave it my all.

Thank you in advance for providing a gift - at whatever amount - to support this journey and our fight to find more therapies and cures to beat cancer.

With a full heart and determination to finish, I am humbly setting off - likely not the fastest but grateful for every minute that I get to ride a bike.
