Cancer touches us all. We need treatments; we need cures. 75% of all cancer treatments come through Dana-Farber during clinical trials, on their way to FDA approval.

Think about that a minute. 75%.

This is a great fundraiser. We pay for our own rides, so 100% of every dollar you give to the Pan-Mass Challenge goes directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, to support research, and patients under going treatment.

This is why we ride.

I ride in honor of George Jordy Anderson. Once again, this year I ride alongside Jordy.  I'll ride 109 miles Saturday, and 50 Sunday.

I ride to honor the survivors, so many of you who are my family and friends. And I ride in memory of my grandmother, my mother-in-law, my father-in-law, and so many others.

I dedicate my ride this year to Dee Grayton, a friend battling pancreatic cancer.

Please donate. Because together, we are closer to a cure. Close by the mile.
