When I was a kid, my Dad once tried to ride his bike no-hands while eating a burrito. He crashed into a recycling bin, stood up with salsa on his shirt, and said, “Only one way to find out.” That was the Doug Mentality: try bold things, laugh when you fall, and never skip the snack.

I lost my Dad, Doug, to metastatic prostate cancer in December 2022 after a fierce 1.5-year battle. He was the most wonderful human — caring, adventurous, and somehow still cracking jokes when the rest of us were barely holding it together. He was taken far too young, but his spirit lives on in every mile I have ridden since then.

This year, I'm taking another shot and riding in my third PMC in remembrance of Doug, alongside Team Crank, who has raised over $1M in the past 2 years! If you can, please consider donating to my ride — every dollar raised goes directly to fund research and support patients and their families at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, which holds a special place in my heart, as it is where he received his care. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart — I know Doug's smiling down from above, probably with a burrito in hand :)

With love,

Kimmy
