Please consider donating to my fundraising efforts as I will be riding in the 2025 Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC)!
The PMC is a bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country! I will be riding 186 miles from Sturbridge MA to Provincetown MA over the course of 2 days to raise money for cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Since its founding in 1980, PMC riders 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. I will be riding with the Patriots Platelet Pedalers (PPP) (https://patriotsplateletpedalers.org/) so 100% of the funds I raise will support the innovative work of Dr. Ken Anderson. Dr. Anderson's lab focuses on researching new interventions aimed at treating multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects bone marrow (https://www.dana-farber.org/find-a-doctor/kenneth-c-anderson#230548828-185939943, https://themmrf.org/multiple-myeloma/).
Dr. Anderson works closely with the Kraft Family Blood Donor Center which provides blood products to patients at both Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital. Since 2018 I have donated whole blood and blood platelets at the Kraft Family Blood Donor Center and throughout this time I not only have seen the importance of donating blood products, I have seen the tremendous impact the funds raised by the PPP has done for Dr. Anderson and his patients.
Please consider donating financially to my PMC fundraising efforts and help me reach my fundraising goal! If you'd like to go the extra mile, and are able to, consider donating blood products at your closest blood donor center or blood drive. Just an hour of your time could translate into more meaningful hours alive for a patient in need.
