In August 2019, I will be riding my third Pan-Mass Challenge 192-miles with the courage and memory of a number of important people in my heart. I am riding in memory of my father, Jefferson H. Crowther, who was aggressive and strong in his battle with prostate cancer since in the summer/fall of 2011. He proudly met me at the finish line in PTown the first year I rode in 2012.  He passed away on February 13, 2019.  I signed up hoping he would be waiting at the finish line again but, instead, he'll be with me every mile.

I'm riding with the memory of my Grandfather, Frank Remy, Jr., in my heart who battled cancer for 15+ years. He gave me huge support the 1st year for my ride and, in September 2012, before I could even see him in person to tell him about it, he met his peaceful rest. He will be watching me from above as I complete the challenge this year.

I'm riding with the memory of my uncle, John Crowther, in my heart who battled aggressive lung cancer.

I also ride in memory of Anita Finder Rappaport, who we lost to cancer in 1990, but of whom I have lasting memories and who was survived by one of the most important people in my life - her daughter and my best friend - Amy. I will also carry the strength and support of all of my close friends and family whose lives have been unfortunately touched by cancer.

I am committed to raising the required $5,000 for the 2019 PMC. Please support me in my efforts and let’s keep working together toward that cure! The PMC donates 100% of every rider-raised dollar to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund.
