Hello all, my name is Ronny Kolozie from Norwood, Massachusetts, and I work for the Westwood Fire Department. This is going to be my first year riding in the Pan-Mass challenge as part of the Professional Firefighters of Masschusetts team. I look forward to not only training and completing this challenge, but also raising funds to bring us closer by the mile to cure cancer. Our team is made up of 34 riders striving to raise funds that benefit Dana-Farber Cancer Center & Dr. Betsy O'Donnell's research and treatment efforts for Dana-Farber Direct Connect for PFFM members and their immediate families.

Since its founding in 1980, PMC riders like me 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 PMC is making a difference in the lives of patients at Dana-Farber and around the world. The funds I raise support the innovative work of doctors, nurses, and scientists in their search for cures for cancers and related diseases.

100 percent of every dollar raised 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.
