I'm a proud participant in the Pan-Mass Challenge - a bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country - to bring us Closer by the Mile to a cure for cancer.

Our team, Just a Bump in the Road, was formed in 2001 and has collectively raised over $1 million since the Gallagher's started the team 23 years ago. This year, I will be riding for the first time. I ride for the Gallagher family and to keep the tradition that Sharon Gallagher began 23 years ago.
