To my friends and family, My now 10-year commitment to the Pan-Mass Challenge started out as a tribute to my father-in-law, Robert Gordon, and his battle with pancreatic cancer. Along the way I have made many friends with the same goal: to ride 200 miles to honor friends and family who have fought cancer both successfully and unsuccessfully while raising money to continue the important work of cancer research. The importance of the PMC has never been greater. With the recent drastic cuts to healthcare research, the PMC's fundraising will help to continue the research necessary to cure cancer. Last year I raised $18,000 all from individual donors, $122,303 in total over the 9 years. Over the years I have had such a large group of supporters who have given me the honor of carrying the names of their family and friends on the ribbons that flow from my helmet. 162 ribbons honor them, their fight and their memories, thank you. Unfortunately, in the short 8 months since my last ride, that number of ribbons has grown. Cancer never stops, and neither can our commitment to stopping this disease. Lastly, I would like to mention my friends and team members of Team Courage Coneheads. Cycling is a team sport, and I have relied on my friends and teammates to help me push on when the training is tough or when you enter those dark moments on the road. Their enthusiasm and encouragement are immeasurable. I am truly in awe of this team. If you are able, I ask that you support my ride in this upcoming Pan Mass Challenge. Your donation represents your love, memories, and the hope that there can be a future free from cancer. I cannot thank you all enough.
