The 2025 Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) is more than just a race for me; it’s a way to channel both my scientific passion and personal commitment to defeating cancer.
As an immunologist focused on drug discovery in biotech and pharma, I understand the vital importance of funding both foundational and translational research to unlock groundbreaking therapies. I’m inspired by the powerful collaboration among clinicians, immunologists, cancer biologists, and engineers who are working together to advance treatments and, ultimately, find a cure.
This is also deeply personal. My mother-in-law, a true warrior who has defeated cancer several times, and our family have experienced the incredible, compassionate, and state-of-the-art care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Her strength and resilience motivate me to ride with purpose, honoring her journey and all those affected by this relentless disease.
This year, I’m proud to join the Quin Impact Fund and THE PATRIOTS PLATELET PEDALERS, setting a personal goal to raise $6,000. Every donation directly supports innovative research and top-tier patient care, bringing us one step closer to a future without cancer. If you’d like to honor someone special with your gift, please include their name in a note—I’ll proudly carry their name on my ride as a tribute.
I PMC BECAUSE I WANT TO:
-
Join the Fight: Every pedal stroke funds critical research and paves the way for breakthrough treatments.
-
Celebrate Scientific Unity: I ride to honor the synergy among clinicians, researchers, and engineers, whose combined efforts are reshaping the battle against cancer.
-
Honor Personal Journeys: I pedal in honor of my mother-in-law’s incredible fight and for all who are facing the challenges of cancer.
-
Ignite Change: Your support not only drives research at Dana-Farber but also fuels hope for a cancer-free future.
Thank you for joining me on this ride—your generosity is the fuel that makes lasting change possible.
100 percent of every dollar I raise goes directly to Dana-Farber, meaning that your donation has a real impact! Please donate to my PMC fundraising and help me reach my fundraising goal.
