I'm a proud participant in the Pan-Mass Challenge - it's a cycling event that raises money for pancreatic cancer research, and as a charity this event has raised more funds than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country - to bring us Closer by the Mile to a cure for cancer.

Since its founding in 1980, PMC riders have raised more than $1 billion for lifesaving cancer research, treatment and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, one of the country's top cancer care hospitals. My fund raising this year will be directed to Dr. Sahar Nissim's Reseach Fund supporting early detection of Pancreatic cancer at  the Nissim Lab. 

I'm also riding to support my dear friend John Squires who lost his wife Kate this past April to pancreatic cancer. They fought bravely for over 4 years, and I hope my efforts and those at my team Forza-G will make a difference for those who themselves are figthing the fight that Kate and John so valiently braved. 

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.
