I'm a proud participant in the Pan-Mass Challenge - a bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country - to bring us Closer by the Mile to a cure for cancer.

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.

I am riding with Team Ovarian Cancer to honor two very special people - Mo and Katie.  I've known both of their families for decades, and their passings over the past two years has left an impact on me.  Good people, taken before their time, will do that.  So, I chose to ride with an old friend to honor the legacy of his wife.  Maybe my small efforts can help to create a cure.  We can only try!
