I’m Riding for So Many We’ve Loved and Lost — Will You Help?

The first weekend in August continues to be my favorite weekend of the year. I get to ride through the beautiful hills of Massachusetts, surrounded by the most incredible people, raising critical funds to support cancer research.

Participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) has been life-changing. It’s also become a family affair—my nephew Gavin will be joining me for the third time! He’s hooked and determined to make a difference, just like me.

As a cancer survivor, I know firsthand the power of research. I am living proof that supporting institutions like the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute matters. That’s why, for the 19th consecutive year, I will ride 186 miles, envisioning a world without cancer.

And as you know—I can’t do this without you. I’m so grateful for your continued support.

It’s heartbreaking to think about how many lives have been affected by this awful disease. But our efforts are working. Thanks to fundraising like the PMC, we’re seeing earlier detection, more tolerable treatments, longer life expectancies, and more cures than ever before.

And that’s why I ride.

My PMC journey began as a tribute to my mom. Two years ago, we lost Oppie—one of my closest friends—to this dreadful disease. I ride for them, always. I feel their presence and thrive from their energy during my training rides and throughout PMC weekend.

Earlier this year, my Aunt Lee also passed away from cancer. So, like every year, I ride in memory of those we've lost, and in honor of those still fighting.

This year, I proudly ride:
In Memory Of: Aunt Lee, Eddie, and Lily
In Honor Of: Barbara (facing cancer a second time), Faith, Elliott, Mike, David, and Michael

Damn you, cancer. We’re coming for you. This ride is for all of you.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to ride for many of you and your loved ones. That hasn’t changed. If you know someone who’s been touched by this disease—yourself, a friend, or family member—send me their name. I’ll proudly wear a ribbon around my waist in their honor or memory, just like I’ve done before (as you can see in the photo above).

THANK YOU for your unwavering support and generosity. Together, we are making a difference. Each mile brings us closer to a cure—and I couldn’t do it without you.

With deep appreciation and gratitude,
Ivy
