2026: My 25th PMC

Last Year the PMC Surpassed 1.1-Billion Dollars in Donations
In August of 2017, my brother-in-law Brian passed away from long-term complications related to his 16-year battle with cancer. Brian is the reason I started riding the Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) and he will continue to be my motivation as I ride in his memory in the future.  We also lost his wife, Maryellen to cancer in the early winter of 2023.  Another good friend of mine is ill with cancer.  I do it for her.

My mother-in-law Marie, passed in early 2026.

My PMC journey started in the summer of 2001. Brian was in the hospital in Boston and I was on vacation with my wife and three children in Truro, Massachusetts. Truro is on Cape Cod about 5 miles before Provincetown. As we departed our vacation early on Sunday morning and drove up Route 6 heading towards Boston, we passed hundreds of Pan Mass Challenge riders as they cycled towards Provincetown to complete their two-day, 192-mile journey raising money to fight cancer.

It was at that moment I vowed to ride the PMC the following year, and I have been doing it ever since 2002. This August, I will be riding in my 25th Pan Mass Challenge.  Would you consider donating to my ride?

Since I began my PMC journey, I have raised more than $127,000; this year, I have committed to raising $6000. The PMC donates 100% of every rider-raised dollar directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
