Friends and Family,

I’m sending this out later than usual—and it’s been a tough one to write.

In February, my mom, Claire, passed away after a long and courageous fight with breast cancer. She faced every step with grace, grit, and one goal: the greater good. She endured surgeries, chemo, radiation, and even early clinical trials—not just in hope of healing, but to help the women who would come after her.

There’s a quote that reminds me of her:
“Successful mothers are not the ones who have never struggled. They are the ones who never gave up, despite the struggles.”

That was Mom to the core.

Next weekend, my brothers Jesse and Jake and four other family members are riding the Pan-Mass Challenge with me in her honor.

If you’re able to donate, thank you. If not, your support still means the world.

All the best,

Chuck
