The Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) raises funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a world leader in adult and pediatric cancer treatment and research.

On August 2nd and 3rd, I completed my 3rd Pan Mass Challenge, riding my bike 192 miles over the 2 days, from Sturbridge, Mass. to Provincetown, Mass. I ride the PMC in support of friends and family who have fought and are currently fighting this terrible disease. Every mile ridden and every dollar raised gets us one step closer to beating cancer. Please consider supporting me or any of the thousands of riders that participated in this year's Pan-Mass Challenge.

For me, this year's ride was even more meaningful. In April, a dear friend of mine passed away after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Paul was a fellow PMC rider and he and I refereed hockey together for more than 20 years. To honor him, I wore his American Hockey League #66 official's jersey across the finish line. I know he was with our Crus11 Tour team the entire weekend!

I am a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer with 100% of rider-raised revenue going directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure. LET'S CRUS11 IT!!
