This year I will be riding in my sixth Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) ride. Since 1980, the Pan-Mass Challenge has raised over $1 billion in support of lifesaving cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 

In addition to joining my Dad on his 15th ride, this ride will commemorate 14 years since my last cancer treatment. Diagnosed in July 2009, I spent over 2 years receiving extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatment for lymphoma from the Jimmy Fund Clinic at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Children’s Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

I write this to ask for your support in my ride this August. My goal is to raise $7,500 by the end of September, with all proceeds going to the organization that saved my life.

Every donation brings us closer by the mile!
