I am riding this year for the memory of my mother who passed in April this year. She raised me to pursue excellence and be the best at what I do. Challenging myself and raising donations in her memory is a small gesture of thanks for her love, dedication and sacrifice.

The pain and endurance of the challenge don’t compare to what a cancer patient feel every day. That motivates me to challenge myself and ride in the Pan-Mass Challenge every year. As part of Team South Shore Health, I know every dollar raised is directly benefiting patients on the South Shore.
