I’m proud to be riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge—a two-day, 162-mile bike ride that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country—to bring us Closer by the Mile to a cure for cancer.

Unfortunately, none of us have to look far to see the impact of cancer. It touches families, friends, and communities in ways that are both heartbreaking and deeply motivating. I am proud of my family’s connection to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and I know firsthand the outstanding work they do—not just in treating patients, but in leading the charge toward life-saving breakthroughs.

Since its founding in 1980, PMC riders like me have raised more than $1 billion for lifesaving cancer research, treatment, and patient care at Dana-Farber, one of the country's top cancer care hospitals. My PMC ride is making a difference in the lives of patients at Dana-Farber and around the world. The funds I raise support the innovative work of doctors, nurses, and scientists in their search for cures for cancer and related diseases.

The best part? 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to Dana-Farber. No overhead, no wasted dollars—just real impact, fueling the work of doctors, nurses, and researchers who are fighting for a cure.

I’d be incredibly grateful for your support in helping me reach my fundraising goal. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to the day when cancer is no longer a devastating diagnosis. Let’s ride together toward that future.
