This is my 27th year participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge, and my 10th year pedaling to fund a cure for cancer. I am a team captain for Team Sunflower.

I ride & volunteer to honor of those who are fighting, of those who can say they are living proof. I ride & volunteer in memory of those who we have lost, especially my mom, Deborah Barrett, who lost her battle with cancer ten years ago.
A beautiful, loving, courageous woman - my mother's battle began 13 years earlier when she was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. The life saving treatments that she received were developed at Dana Farber and released only two years before her diagnosis. I am so thankful every day for the commitment to funding research that gave my mom 13 more years with us.
In 2006 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. We were confident that the surgeries and treatments would cure her. On October 30, 2008, they told us that mom's cancer had metastasized to other organs . She lost her battle with cancer on January 8, 2009.

This year, due to Covid 19, our PMC weekend will not be occuring as usual. Instead, we will have a reimagined, socially distant, PMC ride. Keith and I intend to ride the full 200 miles, WITH OUR KIDS IN TOW! This isn't going to be a straight 200 mile ride, but a cumulative one (2 and 4 year olds would be bored our of their minds on a 10 hour ride!)

Please support my efforts by FUNDING a cure for cancer, and I will commit to logging the miles on my bike!

Thank you.
