In Honor of Uncle Paul

This year, I’m riding in honor of my Uncle Paul. After a years-long and courageous battle with cancer, Uncle Paul passed away on July 4th, leaving with a Fourth of July bang. He was a man who always made us laugh and carried a quiet wisdom behind the humor. Even in his hardest moments, he cared about others and continued to spread joy. I’ll be carrying his memory with me every mile this year.

Many of us are directly or indirectly affected by cancer. I ride to honor all those we’ve lost and all those who are still fighting. I ride for research, for progress, and for the hope that one day we’ll find a cure.

I also ride for all of you. For those living with cancer, for survivors, and for anyone carrying the grief and pain of loving someone who has faced it.

Cancer doesn’t stop, and we can’t either. Have I trained much this year? Not really. But that’s not what matters. We find a way to keep going, even when life is hard. We push through, we show up, and we keep living fully for ourselves and for the people we ride for.

I’m raising money to support life-saving research and care. Any donation, no matter the size, helps bring us closer.

Thank you for your support.

I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading the 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.
