Dear friends and family,

Hello! I will be participating in the 2025 Pan-Mass Winter Challenge , a bike-a-thon that raises funds for cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This cause is very important to me, in November of 2023 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Now here we are in 2025, and I have been in remission since June of 2024. I am living proof of what funding research is all about.

During this challenging time, I found strength in remembering my two best friends who feircely batteled cancer, Joshua Meagher and Matthew DiTullio. I will be riding again in their honor and memory, carrying their spirits with me every mile of the way.

I am reaching out to you to ask for your support. Your donation, regardless of the amount, will contribute to vital research efforts and provide support to those affected by cancer. Your donation is 100% tax deductible and 100% of your donation goes to Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Your donation will help fund critical research and treatment, as well as honor the memory of Meagher, Matty D., and all the others we have loved and lost to this terrible disease. #FuckCancer

I will be riding with Team Duncan, which supports breast cancer and gynecological cancer research, though I have decided to allow Dana Farber to allocate my donations to the research with the most need. It seemed only appropriate as those in my life have been affected by various types of cancers, all with the urgent need for more research.

Thank you for considering supporting me in this important cause. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer and honor the lives of those we have lost.

Thank you all SO MUCH!!!!

Please visit my gallery to see the faces of my friends that I will be riding for. 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.
