This year, I am riding in honor of Julia Pierson, Penny Crothers and Lindsey Harbert and in memory of Kristine Brophy Beaulieu and Susie Brophy. In the two years since I began riding the PMC in 2023, the ride's mission has become increasingly important to me as one of my close friends, as well as my Aunt, have each battled cancer in the two years since and are cancer survivors. Thank you for all of your support, particularly everyone who has donated since year one. Last year the PMC surpassed $1 billion in donations since its inception, and hopefully that number increases exponentially until a cure is found. Until then, in the words of the great Jimmy Valvano: "Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, and it cannot touch my soul."

As always, 100% of rider-raised revenue goes directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
