For the 5th and likely final year, we are riding the Pan Mass Challenge in memory of our son's godmother, Kirby Grochal. Kirby passed away after 5 years of fighting high-grade neuroendocrine pancreatic carcinoma, a rare form of cancer for which there is no cure.

We thought we wouldn't do the ride again after she passed last May, but she fought for 5 years, so we are going to ride for 5 years.

As part of Kirby's Dream Team, we are riding 85 miles from our hometown of Wellesley to Bourne in Cape Cod, to raise money to support cancer research. 100% of the funds we raise will be made available to Kirby's oncologist, Dr. Chan at Dana Farber, who is leading research efforts against neuroendocrine tumors. Please consider a donation to fund research so we can find a cure for all those with this awful disease.
