I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure. This year I will be participating in the Wellesley Century ride, a 100 mile ride in August.

Cancer certainly has had its impact on my family, claiming the lives of my cousins John Farrell & John Murphy, my uncles Henry McCarthy & Joseph Farrell and my niece Molly. My sister Susanne is in remission from a rather scary battle with leukemia and is currently doing well.

I have been inspired by every member of my family and ride in all of their honor.

Please help me reach my fundraising goal of $6000, every donation makes a difference (even a sawbuck). 100 percent of all rider-raised funds go directly to innovative cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber, one of the world's premier cancer centers dedicated to advancing cancer research and care.
