While I was a fair weather rider for most of my life, I upped my efforts with 16k miles ridden since the start of the pandemic... 11,000 since January 2023 and many of those through some wet and chilly conditions. Since 2020, I have raised over $8000 for various charities teaching yoga classes, so cycling for charity was a natural addition to those efforts.

I'm looking forward to joining Wise as we support Dana Farber Cancer Institute. More details below:

I'm a proud participant in the Pan-Mass Challenge - a bike-a-thon 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.

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 Cancer Institute, one of the country's top cancer care hospitals. My PMC 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 cancers and related diseases.

100 percent of every dollar I raise goes directly to Dana-Farber, meaning that your donation has a real impact! Please donate to my PMC fundraising and help me reach my fundraising goal.
