I was initially diagnosed with stage 2b breast cancer 4/26/17.  I went through chemotherapy, radiation, double mastectomy and reconstruction and ovaries and fallopian tube removal all from 2017-2018.  It was a long and grueling process, but Dana Farber was there for me every step of the way.  I was religiously taking my anti-estrogen medication and was considered cancer free for 6 years.  In those years I watched my children's first days of kindergarten, coached multiple sports teams, traveled everwhere we could, and enjoyed life.

The unthinkable happened 11/1/23 when I was diagnosed with stage 4, or metastatic breast cancer.  I was devastated and in complete shock.  Again, Dana Farber has been there for me, providing the most advanced medical care, social workers, support groups and more.  Because of their research, I am confident that I will riding the PMC for many years to come.

I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure. I am riding to support my fellow cancer survivors and thrivers, and to honor all those we have lost to this horrible disease.
