Dear Friends, Previous Supporters and Future Supporters,

It's that time of year again!  Unfortunately the list of people impacted by cancer continues to grow. So on August 2, 2025 I will be riding in my 8th PMC. This will be a special one as I am dedicating the ride especialy in memory of Marilyn Butera my wonderful mother in law who passed away in March. Although she battled successfully against stage 4 melanoma a number of years ago the scourge of Alzheimer's caught up with her. RIP Marilyn. 

The ride is 110 miles from Strubridge, MA to Bourne, MA on Cape Cod. While I have my work cut out for me it's nothing compared to the fight and determination necessary for anyone involved in fighting cancer.

I am beyond grateful for the incredible support you have provided over the past 7 years - an amazing total of $235,000. Thank you for being a part of it. Raising money for any cause is difficult but I hope that you will do what you can and please understand that any amount truly makes a difference. The amazing work getting done and the support provided to cancer patients every single day at Dana Farber will only happen if we do our part.

This year I will be adding 2 new sets of initials: one for a close friend's brother law who has bravely fought different cancers for 40 years and now has serious pancreatic cancer and another for a local friend whose husband is fighting hard.  Over the past 7 PMCs I have added 22 sets of initials for friends, family who have been impacted by cancer.

If you would like me to ride in honor of your friend or loved one do not hesitate to reach out and give me their name or initials. 

These incredibly strong people, their caregivers and families and so many others inspire me to never give up. Each PMC ride is meaningful and I look forward to riding in your/their honor once again.

Thank you so much for your consideration of supporting me, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and The Dmitri Itzkovitz Pediatric Brain Tumor Research Fund (focuses on kids' brain tumor research.)
