I ride and fundraise for cancer research and treatment through the Pan-Mass Challenge to honor my father-in-law, Dale Alspaugh, who passed away from lung cancer 22 years ago. I also continue to participate because 1 in 3 men and women will be diagnosed with cancer sometime in their lifetime. My father, Heinz Floss, lived with both bladder and prostate cancer, and my mother-in-law, Marlowe Alspaugh, was also treated for cancer. This year, I was diagnosed and successfully treated for a very mild and treatable form of skin cancer – basal cell carcinoma. You almost certainly know someone that has been impacted.
The PMC is a charity bike-a-thon that raises money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) to fund lifesaving cancer research, treatment and patient care. The PMC donates 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar directly to the DFCI’s Jimmy Fund. Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund has received a 4-star rating (highest possible) from Charity Navigator. See the 2024 PMC Impact Chart and Details to see how the DFCI allocates the PMC’s gift.
I will once again be riding the two-day 186-mile Sturbridge to Provincetown route on August 2nd and 3rd. It looks like it is going to be a perfect weekend for riding!
I would really appreciate any contribution you could make to my fundraising! You can donate via bank account, credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, donor advised fund (DAF), or Venmo here:
