The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge is full of amazing riders and volunteers who all have wonderful stories to share. Meet some of our riders (and support them in the PMC at www.pmc.org) as they have been featured in some prominent local media coverage: Brothers Anthony, 22, Matt, 20, and Mike, 16, will ride the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge in honor of their father, Tony, 52, a two-time nasal cancer survivor who was treated at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. "I was pretty young the first time my dad was diagnosed so I didn't really understand, but the second time was much harder," says Matt. "My siblings and I helped out a lot and we had family members chip in, but my mom, who is an angel, was able to take care of my sick father while raising seven children."
