Dear Friends and Family,

This will be my 25th year riding the Pan-Mass Challenge. I do it for many of my friends and family who have lost their battles to this dreaded disease. This past fall, a friend from junior high school, Kenny, passed away. He called me earlier that year in the spring of 2020. He just said, "Thanks for doing the PMC," He told me about his prognosis, which didn't sound good. He was so grateful for the great treatment he was getting at the Dana Farber. He was going to beat this disease because of the advanced treatments he was receiving. Plus, he had a great attitude. He told me he had to beat it for his family whom I know from speaking with him and from seeing his posts on FaceBook, meant everything to him. We spoke a few more times that spring; he always was so upbeat. The last time we spoke was around the Jewish High Holidays. He wished me a healthy New Year and told me he was looking forward to going to our 51st high school reunion in the spring of 2021. Sad to say, Ken passed away a few weeks after we spoke. This year, I will be thinking of Kenny as well as my mother and other friends who had cancer and didn't make it. Let's crush cancer together!
