What started 7 years ago to ride with a friend has become a much more personal cause and reason for me to ride. In October 2021 my sister was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma. Through the uncertainty, treatments and family rallying around her, I ride. Honoring my sister in her incredible fight, to watch her strength and courage and to thank all of the incredible people at Dana Farber who have been beside her every step of the way. My sister Karen continues her fight with our family by her side! She has asked me to thank each and every one of her care team for their compassion, concern, professionalism and overwhelming focus on her and her wellbeing! She wants to thank all of your that support the effort to Win This Fight! The things we have been able to celebrate, the travel and places she has seen, little ones having their Aunt, Great Aunt and a Great Great Aunt in their lives is something that will forever be cherished and treasured. My sister and I continue making new memories exploring new ice cream places on what we call our Ice Cream Dates. My family and I are blessed and eternally grateful for every moment and new memory.

I hope you will join me to support of all that have been impacted, as well as those that will at some point need to lean in on the care teams at Dana Farber. There is no amount too big or small that won't help those that are in this fight. Whether it is to continue the incredible and groundbreaking research that is being done daily or to allow others to enjoy more Ice Cream Dates with someone special! I ask for your support so that it may be passed along to other families so that they too may have more time to create wonderful memories.

Thank you for considering my ask for your support and for any help you can give. It is greatly appreciated and welcomed!

With my sincere gratitude,

Phil
