I am honored to share that I will be participating in my fifth Pan Mass Challenge this year. This ride holds a special place in my heart, and this year it carries even more significance.

This past year has been incredibly challenging for my family. Shortly after last year's PMC, we lost my mother-in-law to cancer. In her memory, on Friday of PMC weekend, I will be riding an additional 100 miles to New Hampshire and back, simulating the traversal of the entire state. This will bring my total distance to nearly 300 miles over the weekend.

I ride because cancer affects too many people in too many ways. It robs individuals of their health and, sadly, takes away cherished family members and friends.

I ride because there are world-class researchers dedicated to finding cures and therapies that bring hope to patients. These heroes are my neighbors right here in Boston, and their work is inspiring.

I ride because this is how I can contribute to a brighter future. Any support you can provide—whether it's a donation, words of encouragement, or simply checking in on my training—means the world to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.
