The Pan-Mass Challenge bike ride has been a very important organization to my family for many years. For as long as I can remember, my grandmother, mom, aunts, and siblings have devoted their time and efforts volunteering for the PMC weekend to support a great cause. My uncle Jimmy introduced my family and I to the PMC back in 1998. This was Jimmy's first ride ever to honor and support his mother & my grandmother for successfully beating cancer. Fast forward to 25 years of commitment to the PMC, Jimmy has made this ride a part of his life honoring many different people along the way.

In June of ‘23, Jimmy was diagnosed with Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) causing him to be hospitalized for several months, missing what would be his 25th PMC ride. In October Jimmy received a bone marrow transplant to replace the previously cancerous marrow. Although the last year has been tough, Jimmy is still recovering and his journey is on the right track. He is planning to ride this August for the 25th time. I am honored and grateful to be riding alongside for my 2nd ride with the PMC.

Thanks to all those who support. All donations are greatly appreciated.
