I am excited to participate in my first full PMC! On August 2 and 3, I will be riding 186 miles over two days, from Sturbridge to Provincetown, MA, to raise funds for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and its world-class research and patient care. The PMC is the largest single athletic fundraiser in the country, raising more than $1 billion since 1980 and $75 million last year alone, and I am inspired and motivated ot be a part of it this year.

In 2012, I lost my father to cancer. His memory is with me daily and I will carry it on this ride, along with the names of others I've lost to this disease. But, I am also riding for those who are fighting today. This is one small way I can honor them.

In my professional life, I work alongside researchers who strive every day to end this and many other terrible diseases. I see firsthand just how crucial strong funding is, how hard-fought every breakthrough can be, and how much promise exists in today’s science. I also see how much that progress depends on philanthropic support. The kind of research Dana-Farber leads—innovative, rigorous, and patient-centered—saves lives. But only if we give it the resources it needs.

I have committed to raising $6,000 to support this mission and would be deeply grateful for your help. Every contribution helps accelerate the kind of research and care that gives families more time, more options, and more hope. 

If there’s someone in your life who has faced cancer—a friend, loved one, or colleague—I would be honored to carry their name with me on the ride. Just let me know, and I’ll make sure they are with me every mile.

Thank you for being part of this effort to move us closer to a world without cancer!
