I'm riding my first PMC in honor of several dear friends whose lives have been positively impacted by Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Cancer is someone else's story until it becomes the narrative of your own life. I'm riding in honor of my spouse, a 5 year survivor of stem cell transplant. I'm also a patient with breast cancer and have experienced superb care at DFCI. Bicycling has become my way of celebrating community and survival. 

Since its founding in 1980, PMC riders like me have raised more than $1 billion for lifesaving cancer research, treatment and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, one of the country's top cancer care hospitals. My PMC is making a difference in the lives of patients at Dana-Farber and around the world. The funds I raise support the innovative work of doctors, nurses, and scientists in their search for cures for cancers and related diseases.

100 percent of every dollar I raise goes directly to Dana-Farber, meaning that your donation has a real impact! Please donate to my PMC fundraising and help me reach my fundraising goal.
