In 2011, I completed the bike ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown.  At every mile along the route, I found the outpouring of support to be overwhelming.  Without a doubt, the Pan-Mass challenge was the most satisfying and worthwhile endeavor of my life.  Not because of the physical exercise and sense of achievement but rather, because of the knowledge that I am helping and supporting others who have been and are currently effected by cancer. 

 

This year, I am unable to ride in the event but will participate as a "Virtual Rider."   This allows me to fundraise to support the Pan-Mass.

 

As I stated last year, my wife, Tabitha, and I have seen our families touched by cancer.  My Mom and sister, Ginny, are cancer survivors.  Tabitha's sister, Khristen, died at 40 years of age after battling it for six months.  I believe that my efforts in supporting Dana-Farber will directly help those now fighting cancer while advancing the research on early detection and treatments.
