I am so excited to be riding in my fifth Pan Mass Challenge this year! The goal is simple - bike to raise money that will support the fight against cancer. Each year I ride, the unfortunate reality is there seems to be more and more people in my life that have been impacted in some way or another by this horrible disease.

I ride in honor of a loved one in recovery, as well as for all those in my life who have been impacted by cancer through the diagnosis or loss of their loved ones. According to the American Cancer Society, there is approximately a 1 in 3 chance that a person will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime. The Dana Farber Cancer Institute is one of the leading cancer institutes in the United States, dedicated to innovative cancer research and delivering expert patient care.

Any contribution you can make to this fight is more than appreciated! 100% of rider-raised revenue goes directly to support the Jimmy Fund and DFCI's continued commitment to finding a cure. Many companies match charitable donations, so please be sure to ask your HR department at work how to apply for a donation match.

Thank you in advance for your support, every donation brings us closer by the mile!
