LUCKY 13! On Saturday, August 3, 2024, I will ride in my 13th Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. This year, I'll be pedaling 85 miles from Wellesley to Bourne. With your help, the PMC will achieve a major milestone of raising $1 BILLION dollars over its 45 year history.

I'm honored to ride along with my dear friends, Joanne and Dana, and with the community of PMC participants who dedicate themselves to this effort year after year. The collective energy of the riders, the volunteers, the organizers, the sponsors and all of our supporters makes this a very special weekend. It is an amazing achievement of physical endurance, courage, generosity and kindness. Most importantly, it makes a tremendous difference towards cancer research and treatment.

Every dollar and every cent donated to my ride goes to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA. I ride with hope for those who are currently fighting cancer. I ride with gratitude for the many who have won their battles with cancer. I ride in memory of those we have lost to cancer including Jörg, Kakuko, Hideaki, Jeremy, Frank, Paul, Don, Charles, Lanh Huynh, Renée, Pam and more. Please support me in my efforts to honor all of these brave people and their families. Thank you. Erika
