I am riding in memory of Duncan Finigan and in honor of my mother-in-law, Judy Flagg, whose tenacity and strength are an inspiration to me. Duncan helped launch Oofos as the first employee and was the catalyst for the company's Project Pink program to raise money for breast cancer research, before passing away from the disease in 2019. Judy was diagnosed with myelodysplasia last year, and is continuing to battle this rare blood cancer. My family and I are immensely grateful to Judy's team at Dana Farber for their continued care and support. With our help, Dana Farber can continue the necessary research and treatments to save lives.

Although the ride will be a challenge, I know it is nothing compared to the obstacles faced by cancer patients all over the world on a daily basis. I'm honored to be able to participate in the Pan-Mass Challenge as a way to show support for those affected by cancer, and to continue to raise awareness and funding for cancer research. All rider-raised funds will be donated to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. I greatly appreciate any donation you are able to make.
