*** Donations for 2025 accepted through Sept 30th ***

2025 update:

I'm riding the PMC again this year - year #22 for me! Last year my team (Kinetic Karma) crossed the $6 million threshold in cumulative fundraising. It was also a big year for the PMC as a whole - the event passed the $1 Billion (with a B) mark!

My team has the same pedal partner as the last few years, Zinnia. She is an adorable 7 year old from Nashua, NH with bilateral nephroblastomatosis. We'll be riding to see her in late July, and then hopefully we will see her again on PMC weekend at the Pedal Partner waterstop.

My ride will be the same as it has been for a long time now - 3 days starting at the NY border. We'll ride a century (100 miles) up and over the peaks of the Berkshires on Friday, then another one from Sturbridge to Bourne on Saturday. Sunday will close out the weekend with our ride out to Provincetown. Our 3 day total will be about 300 miles.

Last year I was able to reach the Heavy Hitter threshold ($11,000) and I hope to do that again this year. The support of donors like you is what makes that possible.

If you would like to add a name to the list of those I ride in memory of, or in honor of, please send it to me and I will remember them along the way throughout the weekend.

In Honor of: Craig Meyer, Dave Lafreniere, Theresa Welsh pedal partners: Emmy, Jack, Charlotte, Megan, Anna, Maya and Zinnia

In Memory of: Frank Marino, Richard Hoare, Deike Hoare, Dorothy Peschel, Colleen Bruce, Brielle Laplante, Joan Meyer Glynn, Jeff Levine, Pat Danaher, Jeff Hoyland

2023 update:

I am riding the PMC again, and I can't believe that this year is my 20th consecutive ride. I'll be riding with Team Kinetic Karma again of course

Our team has the same pedal partner as last year, Zinnia. She is an adorable 5 year old from Nashua, NH with bilateral nephroblastomatosis. We'll be riding to see her in late July, and then hopefully we will see her again on PMC weekend at the Pedal Partner waterstop.

My route will be the now-familiar 3 days starting at the NY border. We'll ride a century (100 miles) up and over the peaks of the Berkshires on Friday, then another one from Sturbridge to Bourne on Saturday. Sunday will close out the weekend with our ride out to Provincetown. Our 3 day total will be about 280 miles.

This year is my 20th Pan-Mass Challenge. My goal, once again, is to reach the Heavy Hitter threshold ($10,000). Of course I can't get there without your help.

If you would like to add a name to the list of those I ride in memory of, or in honor of, please send it to me and I will remember them along the way throughout the weekend.
