I rode in the Pan-Mass Challenge for the first time in 2024, and to say it moved me would be an understatement. The experience was nothing short of life-changing. The stories shared by fellow riders - each one a powerful reminder of life’s fragility - left a lasting impression. Cancer is relentless in the way it takes our loved ones, but it also has a remarkable way of uniting people with strength, purpose, and hope. This year, I return to the PMC more motivated than ever, committed to this cause and determined to help bring an end to this devastating disease.
