Over the last 10 years, I have watched my family, The Hogan Family, participate in the most incredible fundraiser I have ever heard about: The Pan Mass Challenge (PMC).  Having the opportunity to see firsthand all the efforts that go into fundraising for this event as well as the time and effort that goes into training for those two days has been inspirational.  For those who do not know what the Pan Mass Challenge is, it is a two day 200-mile bike ride from Sturbridge, MA to Provincetown, MA to raise money for Dana Farber Cancer Institute.  100% of the monies raised goes directly to finding a cure for cancer. 

The Pan Mass Challenge is the largest sporting fundraiser in the country.  For the last 9 years, our Hogan family has been a part of the Patriot Platelet Pedalers (PPP) who is the 2nd largest fundraising team of the PMC and supported by the Kraft Family of the New England Patriots.  100% of the money the team raises goes to Dr. Ken Anderson at Dana Farber to support his Multiple Myeloma research and the development of therapies to treat Multiple Myeloma and extend life. My family has personally raised over $50,000 in 2021 to go toward these efforts.  Our PPP team raised over 1.4 million dollars and PMC raised over 64 million dollars in 2021!!!  

I am excited to announce that this year, I will be riding PMC for the first time in August alongside my husband, Conor. I will ride with all of my family and friends who have been affected by cancer in my heart. But I will ride personally for my father, a 12-year Multiple Myeloma fighter who is the strongest and toughest man I know. The research that Dr. Ken Anderson has been able to do to find therapies for Multiple Myeloma has helped my dad and provided us with many more memories than we thought we would have experienced 12 years ago. Please help me and my family in our fundraising efforts this year to find a cure for cancer and donate to PMC!
