Why I Ride the 2025 Pan-Mass Challenge

I’m honored to ride in the 2025 Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC)—a two-day, 162-mile bike ride across Massachusetts—to raise critical funds for cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI).

This ride is deeply meaningful to me on both professional and personal levels. As an immunologist working in drug discovery across biotech and pharma, I recognize how essential it is to fund both foundational science and translational research. Personally, I have witnessed my Mother-in-law’s journey through cancer treatment at Dana-Farber and am profoundly grateful for the compassionate, cutting-edge care our family received.

I’m proud to ride with the Quin Impact Fund and The Patriots Platelet Pedalers, with a personal goal of raising $6,000. Every dollar goes directly to Dana-Farber to support life-saving research and world-class patient care.

If you’d like to honor someone special, please include their name in your donation note—I’ll proudly carry their name on my bike as a tribute.

Why I Ride:

• Fuel the Fight: Every mile helps fund cutting-edge research and breakthrough therapies.

• Celebrate Collaboration: I ride to honor the powerful alliance of scientists, clinicians, and engineers driving innovation.

• Pay Tribute: I ride for my Mother-in-law and for every family touched by cancer.

• Accelerate Progress: Your support helps bring us closer to a future without cancer.

Thank you for supporting my PMC ride and for helping me reach my fundraising goal—your generosity brings us closer to breakthroughs that will impact patients and families for years to come.

100% of every dollar goes directly to Dana-Farber.Your donation truly makes a difference.
