My PMC Story

The first weekend of August I will once again be cycling over 190 miles in support of the 2026 Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC).  

Why?

In April of 2007, as an otherwise healthy and active 28 year old, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Thanks to decades of investment this cancer is eminently treatable and curable, and after 6 months of chemotherapy and radiation I was cancer free. This year, once again, I had a cancer scare and endured 6 weeks of radiation, 30 daily treatments, to attack an aggressive form of skin cancer that developed on my left temple. I am healthy and optimistic, but also determined to do more to support the work being done by the PMC and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI).

This will be my 13th year supporting the PMC. Together in those years we have raised over $66,000. In 2026 I am aiming to raise $10,000. Since 1980, the Pan-Mass Challenge has raised over ONE BILLION DOLLARS in support of lifesaving cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In 2025, the PMC made a record gift of $78 million. This year, as with every year since inception, 100% of rider raised funds will pass through and be gifted directly to DFCI.

The PMC is a wonderful event and makes a real difference in the fight against cancer; I am excited I have the physical ability to ride, to have a wonderful and loving family to cheer me on and excited to support an organization that has been central to my own care and therapy, DFCI. 

Thank you for any amount of support, and if you have any desire to join me out there on the road to support the PMC and DFCI, please reach out!

With gratitude - Gary
