"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life that no person can sincerely try to help another without helping themselves." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

This August I will ride my bike 192 miles from Sturbridge, Massachusetts to the tip of Cape Cod ending in Provincetown.  111 miles the first day, 81 the next.  After being inspired by friends, family and loved ones who have helped those in need, tested the limits of their own fitness and brought awareness to topics that desperately need it, I am thrilled to announce my commitment to raise money for cancer research by riding in the 2012 Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC).

The first weekend in August, I will join 5,500 cyclists in the PMC ride, an annual bike race that raises money for research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DCFI) in Boston.

The PMC raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country; $338 million since 1980 and $35 million last year alone! This success is a testament to the many people who ride for and care about, a cure. And because every penny matters, 100 percent of your donation goes to DFCI.  I've made a personal commitment to raise $4,300.  I hope you can help me achieve this significant goal.
