Cancer has touched my family in profound ways. This year, I honor my sister Miranda and Uncle Frank. My sister battled breast cancer as a teenager. My uncle — a lifelong cancer researcher — is now facing a diagnosis of his own. Their strength is my motivation.

I ride with Team Crank, a group of passionate riders committed to funding breakthroughs in cancer treatment and research. Backed by the Warren Alpert Foundation, every dollar we raise is matched, doubling the impact.

The Pan-Mass Challenge is more than a ride — it’s a movement. And I’m proud to be part of it.

Thank you for supporting this mission.
