This weekend, I will once again be riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge—a bike ride that raises critical funds for cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This year, the ride will be more personal and more emotional than ever before.

We lost our beloved friend, teammate, and fearless leader Diane Legg in December. Diane was the heart of our PMC team—tireless in her dedication, unwavering in her optimism, and always the first to cheer us on and push us forward. Riding without her feels unimaginable, but riding for her feels essential.

Diane’s passion for the PMC was contagious. She believed deeply in the mission and the hope it brings to countless patients and families. To honor her memory, and to carry her legacy forward, I’m committed to pedaling every mile with her spirit beside me—and I’m asking for your support.

Every dollar raised through the PMC goes directly to Dana-Farber. That means every donation, big or small, will help fund life-saving research and patient care. This cause mattered profoundly to Diane—and it matters to me.

Please consider supporting my ride this year. Your donation will honor Diane, fuel important progress in the fight against cancer, and remind all of us that even in loss, we can still move forward with purpose and love. I know we will all be hearing Diane’s voice along the way and cheering us on!

With deep gratitude,

Jessica
