This year I will be participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) to raise funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a world leader in adult and pediatric cancer treatment and research.

As Dana-Farber’s largest single contributor, the PMC plays a critical role in their mission to reduce the burden of cancer. Year after year, the PMC’s consistent and impressive fundraising has fueled innovations in discovery science and enabled us to maintain the highest standards of excellence in patient care.

The PMC raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country, donating 100% of every rider-raised dollar to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

I am riding in honor of my wife, who is currently struggling with a form of this disease, my mother, who lost her battle, and everyone battling, survived, or impacted in some way or the other by cancer.

I have committed to ride 77 miles to raise money in support of the ongoing efforts to beat cancer. We all make choices ever year to donate to causes that are close to our hearts and I am asking for your donation to help a cause that’s dear to my heart.
