This winter, I have really missed riding. I signed up to do the 2022 Pan Mass Challenge with my dad, for the third year in a row, to support Team Samantha. Our family friend Samantha Janower was diagnosed with a debilitating brain tumor at age 3. I remember my parents spending a lot of time with Sammi's parents on the phone and in person as they navigated chemo, surgeries, and trauma. I remember spending summers with the Janowers as a kid and riding in smaller Team Samantha bike rides with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Research Program at Dana Farberevery year as a kid. Being a part of Team Samantha is in my bones. This year, Sammi is graduating from UPenn with a degree in Sociology. I hope we ride together again! If you're interested in learning more, Sammi's TedX talk is incredible. Last year, my dad and I rode with Sammi and her dad AJ (plus some of their cousins) on a 2-day century ride (50 miles a day) and we had such a blast together. This year, I'll bike 80+ miles/day for my first normal 2-day PMC ride from Wellesley to Provincetown.  
I’m hoping you’ll support my ride! I’ve committed to raising $6,000 for cancer research by riding in the 2022 Pan Mass Challenge. On the first weekend in August (exactly 1 year before our wedding) I will join thousands of cyclists in the PMC, an annual bike-a-thon that raises money for research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) in Boston. I hope I can count on your support!!
