YEAR - 6 We are putting 2020 behind us but not without recognizing the hard work of the PMC, Team Evan's Crew, our families and most importantly our DONORS. It was an off year but we still managed to raise a significant amount of funds as a team and a community.

Hitting $1.0 million total raised in 2020 was a huge achievement; however it is merely another milestone to be put in the rearview mirror as we continue our work to raise money for Dana Farber Cancer Institute and more specifically, DIPG research. With your help Team Evan's Crew is up to the task!

This year will again look different with another reimagined ride but we will still train, raise funds and culminate in a two-day ride on PMC weekend in early August.

The preparation, donation coordination and ultimately the ride in August has become one of the defining events of my year and I am honored to be part of the team once again. Evans Crew (http://www.evanscrew.org/home.html), is a team established by friends Tim and Aimee Mandeville to honor and remember their son Evan who was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) - http://www.dana-farber.org/Pediatric-Care/Treatment-and-Support/Diffuse-Pontine-Glioma.aspx - when he was just 11 years old.

I ride for Evan, I ride for his family and friends and most importantly I ride to raise awareness and crucial funding for research into DIPG so that one day a cure for this extremely rare and fatal cancer can be achieved. I ride for the years the team has already dedicated to this cause and many years to come.
