Cancer has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, impacting family and so many people I love. Lately, that reality has hit even harder, with more friends and loved ones facing diagnoses that remind me why this ride matters so much.

Cancer takes too much—time, memories, and the people we hold dear. But it’s not unbeatable. Thanks to research and care, real progress is being made. That’s why I’m riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge for the fourth year in a row to support Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Now more than ever, that progress is at risk. Threats to research funding could slow or stop the breakthroughs we desperately need. Every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research and care through Dana Farber and the Jimmy Fund—and every donation makes a difference.

My goal is to raise $6,000. I’m riding for the people we’ve lost, those undergoing treatment, and everyone who hopes for a cancer-free future. If you’re able to give, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

With gratitude,
Laura
