I am participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge, riding from Wellesley to Bourne, to raise $4,000 in the fight against cancer, and I am seeking your support. My motivation for this ride is to honor my family, friends, fellow Marines, and firefighters who have survived cancer, are currently battling it, or have lost their lives to the disease. I also ride in memory of my grandfather, James “Bud” Mansfield, and my cousin, Patrick Doherty.

Pat wasn’t just my cousin—he was someone I looked up to. As an older cousin, he set the bar for what it meant to be hardworking, ambitious, and full of life. He was building a promising career in finance and starting fresh in San Diego when cancer took him at just 28. Losing him was devastating, and I ride to honor his memory and the fight he never got to finish.

I am proud to ride as part of Team Arlington Angels, dedicating this journey to the memory of Catherine Malatesta, Matt Griffin, and Pat Doherty—three young adults from Arlington who lost their battles with cancer.

Your support means the world to me. Thank you for considering a donation.

Sincerely,

Luke Mansfield
