I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.

My father, Jeff Ryan, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia 3 years ago. Throughout his treatment, our experience at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute could not have been more positive. I am riding in my third Pan-Mass Challenge not only for my dad, who constantly persevered with an unbelievably positive attitude during his battle with cancer, but for the incredible team of doctors and nurses at the Dana-Farber Institute and for the hope that the continuous PMC fundraising efforts will allow others to experience the joy of recovery.
