I'm a proud participant in the Pan-Mass Challenge - a bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country - to bring us Closer by the Mile to a cure for cancer.

Since its founding in 1980, PMC riders like me 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. My PMC is making a difference in the lives of patients at Dana-Farber and around the world. The funds I raise support the innovative work of doctors, nurses, and scientists in their search for cures for cancers and related diseases.

I have been an avid cyclist for over 30 years but have never participated in the PMC. I am riding in memory of Quinn Amsler who passed away in 2016, Eleanor Norris who passed away in 2014, and Elaine Bronson who passed away in 2024.

I am riding with Team Quinn in memory of Quinn Amsler. The Amsler family established The Quinn Amsler Fund at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Quinn passed away in July of 2016 at the age of 9, after bravely battling a rare form of cancer for 15 months. Funds raised by The Quinn Amsler Fund will support the newly created Center for Pediatric Cancer Therapeutics at Dana-Farber. This new research center is dedicated to finding more effective treatments and ultimately a cure for childhood cancers, studying promising new areas such as immunotherapy and epigenetics. 100% of every rider-raised dollar will directly support The Quinn Amsler Fund and these research efforts at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Thank you for your support of Team Quinn and The Quinn Amsler Fund at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute!

100 percent of every dollar I raise goes directly to Dana-Farber, meaning that your donation has a real impact! Please donate to my PMC fundraising and help me reach my fundraising goal.
