In 2021, my friend Ian’s life was turned upside down when he received an extremely rare diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma as an adult. A quick surgery removed his initial tumor, but the cancer returned in metastatic form in December 2022. Faced with this daunting prognosis, he began undergoing high-dose pediatric regimens of treatment with experts at CHOP. The journey was grueling, culminating in a 3-week bout of temporary paralysis after an acute transverse myelitis attack as a side effect of immunotherapy.

On the 1-year anniversary of his hospital stay he and I will be biking 77 miles from Bourne to Provincetown in the Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) to raise as much money for cancer research in the process as possible.

I will be fundraising throughout the year to reach my 2024 goal of $6k and hope you can contribute to the cause. Every dollar donated goes straight to cancer research which continues to save lives like Ian’s.

Thank you for being a part of #TeamIan!
