Friends and family,

After an incredible first ride last year, this will be my second Pan Mass Challenge and I couldn't be more excited to participate. I am riding again with Team Daisy / Summit Partners, and we're honoring Joe Trustey and Pete Locke who brought this team together in the first place. The training wheels are off - i've been training hard on a REAL bike this year versus my peloton-only approach last year!

On a personal note, I am continuing to dedicate my ride to my Aunt, Susan Bayh, who passed away from brain cancer in 2021. My Aunt Susan will forever be someone I hold close to my heart - she motivated me to excel in just about every part of my life. I'll never forget her telling me to go for it when I was applying to college and wouldn't be anywhere near the person I am today without her and a bit of luck.

Among many other things, my Aunt Susan was smart and hardworking. Susan was an amazing sister to my (also amazing) mother Linda, wife to my Uncle Evan and mom to my cousins Nick and Beau.

If you know me, you know that I've said this was the best thing I did in 2024, and it's shaping up to be the best choice I will make in 2025. Please consider supporting me as we remember my Aunt Susan and everyone else impacted by cancer.

Last year I raised ~$8.5k, lets beat that this year!!
