If you have clicked on my link and come this far, then you probably need no reminder of the devastating impact cancer can have on families, friends and colleagues. Everyone knows someone who has been impacted by this disease in some way or another.

Fortunately there are forces fighint back against this disease. One of the leading institutions in the world battling cancer - in the form of research and treatment - is the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This bike ride - the Pan Mass Challenge - is a crucial supporter of these efforts at DFCI, having raised nearly $1bn since the ride's inception in 1980. Recently, the event has contributed over $50 million per year to cancer research. Support at this scale has a direct ability to fund research that would otherwise simply not happen. It's incredibly imprortant and is making a difference in the battle every day.

The 2025 PMC will mark my 9th time participating in this event. For those who have generously supported my efforts in the past, I thank you again, and I humbly ask that you will consider continuing your support.

For those that are being newly bothered by me, please consider making a donation. 100% of the funds raised go to funding cancer research. There is no waste. All I need to to do is ride about 170 miles across the glorious state of Massachusetts.

Thank you!
