This will be my first year participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge and I'll be riding with The Fraid Knots team! I've chosen to particpate this year after losing a close family friend to Pancreatic cancer in 2024 which was only a few days before my little sister was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. I know first hand how grueling and evil this disease can be so I've commited to riding this race as an effort to hopefully limit the amount of families who have to go through what mine did. My sister, Nora, rang the bell in January of this year and by fundraising and completing this race I hope to give someone else that chance!
