This year, I will be biking from ~160 miles over two days, from Boston all the way out to the Cape, to participate in the Pan Mass Challenge.

A great way to see more of the state I now call home? Sure. A fantastic work out? You betcha. But most importantly, my purpose is to aid in the charge to beat cancer.

It's no secret that this vicious disease has impacted everyone we know, whether it is directly or indirectly. There are countless stories of lives, full of love, faith, and promise, that were ended too soon. There are so many who are still fighting. Most importantly, there is still hope.

Last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure. This year, their goal is to raise even more: $58 million. 58 million reasons to have hope for a cure and a better future.
