My long time friend and co-worker, Ed Watts, rode in the 2-day Pan-Mass Challenge for 13 years, and retired from riding the PMC in 2016. Given Ed's experience with the PMC, I was inspired to follow his footsteps and continue to raise money to battle cancer. 100% of rider-raised revenue goes directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.

Each year I ride in memory of my wife's Uncle who passed away in 2016 after lossing his battle against bone cancer. Also, my Father and my Father In-Law both are cancer survivors. Cancer is a horrible disease that has affected my family, friends and I want to continue do my part to help fight this fight.
