On August 2nd and 3rd of 2025 I will be riding in my 16th Pan-Mass Challenge to benefit the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.  I will be riding the 2 day ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown, and as with every PMC rider, 100% of the money I raise will be donated to the Dana Farber.    Over the past 15 years, myself and my family have reach out to many friends and family, and as a result have raised over $82,000. 

Cancer has touched all our lives.  My first ride was back in 2010, when I rode in memory of my father-in-law Richard Boryk, who died in a very short period of time from pancreatic cancer.  But cancer didn’t stop there.  This dreaded disease also effected other members of my family.  My sister Debbie Dailey and mother-in-law Terri Boryk who both battled breast cancer and my bother Kevin Kirrane, who is currently being treated for cancer.  Several friends have also battled cancer, some I ride in honor of, but others I ride in their memory.

The impact of PMC has been instrumental in the advancement of the Dana Farber.  It has allowing the Dana Farber to pursue cutting edge unique research, expanding clinical trial programs and  building new patient facilities to name just a few. 

The efforts of the PMC gives us the gift of hope and life for the loved ones in our lives that are suffering from this disease.  So if you can, please support my ride this year as we get closer to a cure for cancer. 

Thank you,

Dennis
