2025 will be my fifth year riding the Pan Mass Challenge. I start to think about why Pan Mass is so important. Almost all those who support me have shared experiences working with Dana-Faber Cancer Institute, a leader in cancer care and research. Hearing these stories from so many individuals, I know that the money raised is a great cause to all that fighting for their life.

Everyone has been impacted in some way by this horrible disease. This year, a close friend’s mother passed away fighting her battle with pancreatic cancer. She was diagnosed last year and lost her battle with stage 4 cancer. A strong individual, who loved to travel while running her own consulting business, fought for four months at Dana—Farber. I want to dedicate my ride to her this year! With so many individuals impacted by cancer, I ride to make sure we are one step closer to a cure.

Any donation big or small counts, and I appreciate all the support!
