What started 4 years ago to support a friend who was riding and to raise funds for a very worthy cause, has turned in a much more personal cause. I ride to support my sister in her incredible fight, to honor her indomitable spirit 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 asked me to thank each and every one of her care team for the compassion, concern, professionalism and overwhelming focus on her and her wellbeing. 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. That she and I can take a ride and explore a new ice cream place on what we call our Ice Cream Dates. All of these memories have been a credit to her and the amazing and dedicated team at DF.

I ask for your support today to help provide for the continued support of people and families like mine. Those that will at some point need to lean in on the care teams at Dana Farber. There is no amount 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!

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