My Story

This year, on August 1st and 2nd , I will celebrate my 20th and last PMC!!  Over the past 19 years, I have ridden over 3600 miles, and raised over $180,000, all going to the cause than saved my life 21 years ago. I thank you all for the support you have given this unbelievable event.  Unfortunately, after last year's ride, my body basically said "No thank you", so I've decided to hang up the bike after this year's ride and let the younger riders carry the torch.

For a little background on my story, in December of 2004, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer.  It was a challenging time emotionally, physically, and financially.  I was very fortunate to have made it through that difficult time, due to the unbelievable care I received at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital.  Now, over 21 years later, I feel great and cherish every day I get to spend with my wife Michele, and my daughters Madison and Meaghan.

This year, I am dedicating my ride to 4 outstanding invididuals friends: Tony DePietro, Bob Joyce, Jodi Furey, and Konstadeno "Deno" Danos. 

Tony is going round 2 with Hodgkins Lymphoma, and has beat down the beast for a 2nd time again, that is why he is THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE UNIVERSE (inside joke)!!!  Bob was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, and has also taken the challenge head on and come out on top. Jodi had a little sumthin'-sumthin' going on in her shoulder that turned out to be basil carcinoma, and a little chop-chop and she's back at it kickin' ass and taking names.  And lastly, Deno Danos is battling lung cancer and giving it all he's got.  Deno has been a huge support to my fundraising as he owns Telly's and has hung the signed Bruins Jerseys for raffle in the restaurant, donated tickets to sporting events all to go to my fundraising for the PMC.

I also carry the names of family, friends, family of friends, and friends of family on my jersey as I ride.  if there is anyone you would like for me to add please let me know.  See you the first weekend in August!!
