Hi friends and family,

I’m thrilled to announce that I’m gearing up for the 2024 annual Pan Mass Challenge bike ride! This incredible event raises money for the Jimmy Fund and Dana Farber Cancer Institute, two Boston-based powerhouses in cancer treatment, research, and fundraising.

This year marks my third year riding the PMC, and I continue to be deeply inspired by the strength and dedication of everyone who participates. The past two years riding have been so inspirational and fun, and I feel incredibly lucky and honored to be riding with the Horizon Beverage Company team once again.

Over the course of two days, we will ride from Sturbridge all the way down to Provincetown, the tip of Cape Cod, alongside thousands of other cyclists. Last year, I was profoundly moved by the countless personal stories of how cancer has impacted lives, including my own and perhaps yours too.

For over 40 years, the PMC has been raising money, awareness, and support for cancer research, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the cause. This year, thanks to another successful year of fundraising, the Pan-Mass Challenge and the Jimmy Fund will surpass a staggering one billion dollars in total funds raised, all of which is donated to the fight to cure cancer. Please check out my photo gallery for a breakdown of fund allocation and see how your generous donations are put to work. Last year, my teammates and I raised over $90,000, and this year, we’re aiming to surpass that milestone!

I’m incredibly excited to ride again for such a tremendous cause. Your support means the world to me, and no donation is too small – every bit truly makes a difference.

Thank you so much for your support!
