For the past three years my dad, Brad Northrup, and I have joined team Big Jon as part of the Pan-Mass Challenge to raise money for cancer research. Team Big Jon celebrates Jon Weiss, who valiantly fought but succumbed to kidney cancer 14 years ago.

On May 26, 2022, cancer took my dad from us as well. My dad was my role model--kind and unflappable, and a source of light to so many that knew and loved him. I will miss him terribly. On August 6 & 7 of this year I'll be riding nearly 200 miles across the length of Cape Cod without him, but in his memory.

If you're able to make a donation you can be sure that 100% of every dollar you give will support Dana-Farber’s efforts to cure cancer, so that others won't have to face the same fate. (In addition, many companies will match the donations of their employees--you can click here to see if your company participates.)
