It’s been a few years since COVID, and I’m back riding 160 miles to raise money to fight cancer. After losing Joey and Maddie’s mother, Wendy Kelley, to her long battle with leukemia, my godmother, Mary Lou Morris, to cancer several years ago, and we're now dealing with another very close family member battling terminal brain cancer, I am reminded of the impact this disease has on all of us. So many family members and friends have been affected by cancer, and this ride is the least I can do. The pain of riding over 160 miles is nothing compared to the pain and anguish patients and family members endure battling cancer every year.
We are so fortunate to have the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute supporting patients and families in the Boston area and around the world. Each year, the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) raises over $70 million, with 100% of funds going to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s tireless commitment to helping patients, families, and research to find a cure for this horrible disease. This year, PMC will surpass a billion dollars in total raised, making a huge impact.
If you or a family member has been impacted by cancer, or if you know anyone who has, I hope you’ll consider donating to support my ride. Help me raise money for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber, and together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer.
Thank you for your support.
