It's that time of the year again! As the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) approaches, my Dad and I are dusting off our bikes, and gearing up for the cherished 110-mile journey across Massachusetts. Your ongoing support has fueled more than just miles - it's fueled hope.
Here's why this ride means the world to me:
For My Mom
: Every mile I conquer is in honor of my mom, a true warrior who faces her chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with unwavering strength. She's my inspiration and this ride is in dedication to her resilience.
For My Dad
: We have shared this journey for nine years now, and every year, it's a new story. The miles blend into new conversations, creating wonderful memories as we traverse winding, sometimes hilly New England roads. It's the bonding time, sacred and irreplaceable.
For Family
: The PMC has become more than a ride; it's a family tradition. Crossing the finish line to the cheers of my favorite people, both near and far, is a moment of pure joy that fuels my spirit year after year.
For a Cure
: The best part? 100% of your donation goes directly to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a leader in cancer research and patient care. Dana-Farber has played a critical role in the development of more than half of all cancer drugs approved by the FDA in the past 5 years, which gives me hope. Every dollar brings us closer to a world without cancer!
I've made a personal commitment to ride and raise $4,000.00. Whether it's $10 or $100, every donation propels us forward toward the ultimate finish line - a cure for cancer. Thank you for considering a donation to this cause that touches so many.
