This year is different:  the health and safety implications of the global pandemic mean that instead of 7,000 riders and 4,000 volunteers gathering together, the Pan-Mass Challenge will be reimagined with each individual remaining true to the PMC mission by creating their own PMC experience. 

And yet this year is not different: cancer is not taking the year off and it will steal the lives of more than 600,000 people in the U.S. alone. So the PMC isn’t taking 2020 off and neither are we. In fact, our commitment to the mission of funding cancer research and care at Dana-Farber is more critical than ever. This year, my Sis joined my dad and I for a re-imagined PMC ride up the coast of Maine!

In 2020, I ride in honor of my best friend who's still fighting a courageous battle with cancer. So, the ask now is to raise another $10,000 in rider-sponsored donations under my and my sister, Jamie’s name for all those patients who continue the fight. Your donation will do twice the good as our family will match all donations with a gift to the Corey Burns Memorial Trust to help families dealing with a sick child undergoing a lung transplant.

With love, Hay
