I am riding for the fourth straight year to help provide Dana Farber's doctors and researchers with the necessary resources to find a cure for all cancers. In particular, I'm riding in honor of my mother Beth Thiffault who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She had successful lumpectomy surgery and will be undergoing radiation treatments while I train for for the PMC. I am continuing to ride this year in memory of Joe Callahan and Don Christie as well as in honor of my sister-in-law Payal Kripalani who is a cancer survivor.
