I will be riding in the 2025 PMC for Team Beachcomber. As a second-year rider, I will be cycling 162 miles from Wellesley to P-Town to raise money for cancer research and treatment- 100% of every rider-raised dollar goes to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute! Thank you for supporting my fundraising efforts. Together we will find a cure for cancer.

I ride in memory of...

Courtney Quinno-Lynch (19yo), Kim Wright (57 yo), Gerald Bligh (71 yo), Cyndi Fontes (52 yo), Jim Emmett, Jim Dillon (60 yo), Nick Tierno (77 yo)

I ride in celebration of those who have survived...

I ride in support of those who are actively fighting...

Calista Scribner

Team Beachcomber’s Pedal Partner: Calista Scribner

Just after her 8th birthday, Calista was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on July 29, 2023. She presented with symptoms including a low-grade fever, lower back pain, and swelling of her lymph nodes, which eventually led to her inability to lift her arms. She was admitted directly from the ER at Boston Children’s Hospital and began treatment immediately. She remained in the hospital for 30 days and is currently continuing treatment through the Jimmy Fund Clinic at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. She will continue intensive treatment until August 2025. Prior to her diagnosis, Calista was a goalie for the Islanders hockey program and had a passion for gymnastics, adventure, and the outdoors. Unfortunately, in November, Calista was diagnosed with a blood clot in her brain, a side effect of her chemotherapy. She is able to do many of her favorite activities while on blood thinners and spends time crafting, cooking, and swimming when she’s feeling her best. Besides her parents, her three biggest supporters are her brothers — Caleb, Calen, and Calex — who walk this journey with her every day (along with her three dogs: Charlie, Cocoa, and Cleo). The Scribner family is originally from Woburn, where they attended schools, played sports, and supported many local businesses.

With extreme compassion, dedication, and knowledge, each staff member and care team provider at the Jimmy Fund Clinic and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute brings comfort, creativity, and joy throughout the treatment process. The Scribners are deeply grateful for the Jimmy Fund Clinic, and with your generous donations, they will be able to continue improving the quality of life for children battling cancer. All donations go directly to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to support all warriors battling alongside her.
