Hello Party People!!
I’m back at it for @panmass 2025 — and this year marks my 10th Pan-Mass Challenge! A whole decade of riding, fundraising, and fighting for something that means everything to me. The miles change, the years pass, but the mission stays the same: to kick cancer’s ass.
Year 10 is dedicated to our girl Emma, who lost her battle with brain cancer this past year. She brought light, laughter, and love into so many lives — and we ride for her now, too.
Please consider donating to this cause that’s so close to my heart — and to the hearts of so many others. Your support over the years has meant the world, and I’m incredibly grateful to have this community behind me again and again!
#PEDALPABLO is BACK! Let’s do this!

THE STORY BEHIND WHY I RIDE:
As many of you know, I lost my mom to Stage 4 brain cancer in 2003. It was heartbreaking, unfair, and incredibly confusing. My mom was selfless, accepting, fiercely loving, and tough as hell when she needed to be. She was a complete badass — and I feel so lucky to have called her my mom.
I got 20 years with her, and while I’m grateful for every one of them, I still feel robbed of all the moments we didn’t get. Cancer took that time from me — the memories we should’ve made, the life we should’ve shared. She was the woman who danced around the house with laundry baskets, who cheered at every single game, who treated my friends like her own. She was my heart — and she still is.
She is my reason.
She is my motivation.
And she will be with me for every mile of this 200-mile ride,
I’ll be raising as much as I possibly can in her honor, and for everyone who's been touched by this disease.
Every dollar makes a difference.
Your support means everything.
A million thank yous.
Much love.
