Pan Mass Challenge 2025 Dear Friends and Family, Happy Summer and welcome to my PMC Fundraising page! A special thank you goes out to all of you who have helped by supporting my Pan Mass Challenge ride in 2024 and in years past! 2024 was especially momentous. Your collective support led the PMC to surpass $1 billion in cumulative funding. Congratulations on being “One In a Billion!” We could not have done this without all of you, and I can't thank you enough! On August 2-3, 2025, once again thousands of riders and volunteers will take part in the 46th Pan Mass Challenge with a &76 million fundraising goal for cancer research and treatment at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Since 1980, the PMC community has contributed over $1 billion to Dana-Farber, fueling breakthroughs and hope in the fight against cancer. I ride as a member of the Patriots Platelet Pedalers team. We raise funds specifically for Dr. Ken Anderson, the Kraft Family Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Last year we raised over 1.5 million to support multiple myeloma research and development of novel therapies. The advances in myeloma have also led to treatment advances in many more common cancers such as breast, lung, pancreatic, and prostate, as well as inflammatory and infectious diseases. I committed once again to ride 2 days from Wellesley to Provincetown, for my 19th PMC. Unfortunately during my training an unexpected medical condition came up that requires surgery prior to PMC weekend, so sadly I will be sidelined from riding until the fall. I am disappointed I can't ride but hopefully I will be back in the saddle again soon. I am still committed to supporting the PMC and will hopefully be volunteering at some point during PMC weekend. My PMC 2025 ride is dedicated to all who are fighting cancer and in memory of all who lost their fight. As each year passes, more people I know have been affected. You likely know someone (or many!) who has or is facing all that comes with a cancer diagnosis. The progress and the impact that Dana Farber has made in the fight against cancer is nothing short of amazing. More progress is made everyday; with new discoveries and advancements of treatments, and many cancers are now curable or chronic. Incredible scientific progress has given patients and their families newfound hope, but it goes without saying that there is still much more research to be done. Fundraising is essential to Dana-Farber's success. The PMC raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country. This success is the result of a team effort by caring riders, volunteers, sponsors, spectators and donors like you! We are all working towards a common goal to help save lives and find a cure!
