I’m driven to ride the PMC and fundraise to make a difference for cancer research, because I've seen the impact it can make on cancer care. This year, it feels particularly meaningful as cancer has taken a member of my family, and the loved ones of those around me. 

I’m riding with Team Path to the Cure, a group that participates in the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge for the express purpose of raising money to support Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute/Boston Children’s Hospital. Right now, there are parents out there receiving the terrible news that their child has cancer ... far too many.

No parent should have to watch their baby go through cancer treatments. No child should have to struggle through chemo or radiation. These kids, they're strong, they're true fighters, and so I go out and I ride for them, and all the families who are watching their loved ones, young and old, fight cancer.

I hope you’ll jconsider supporting my ride, which will help fund pediatric cancer research grants, faculty education and patient access to clinical trials.
