I hope this email finds you happy and healthy! I’m excited to take part in the 45rd Pan-Mass Challenge. This will be my 4rd ride, and I can’t be more excited. I will be joined by 6,000 other riders and over 4,000 volunteers to raise 70+ Million dollars for Dana Farber Cancer Center. Dana Farber is one of the leading Cancer centers and does so much good as we work towards a cure for all cancers.

We will ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown in over 200 miles over two days. These are the most inspiring two days I have ever been a part of.

Why do I ride? This all started four years ago when someone I looked up to, and the father of one of my best friends, passed away from occupational cancer. Tom Kenney was a Hyannis Firefighter and a member of the Mass FEMA team and was one of the first responders on Sept 11th when the twin towers came down. Ultimately, he risked his life to save others for more than 36 years! Also, one of my favorite Aunts is a survivor of Pancreatic Cancer! This type of cancer is tough, and she has kicked its ass for over six years. All because of research and science!

My fundraising dollars will once again go to fund neuroblastoma research. Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer of the abdomen that not so long ago pretty much equated to a death sentence... but we have seen significant advancements in survival rate due to funds raised by Team Brent (FYI, Brent is a SURVIVOR).

Please send me the names of anyone you would like to honor or in memory of! I would like to add them to my jersey. This gives me the strenth to make it up those HILLS!!!!
