This October, I'm riding PMC Unpaved, a gravel bike ride over the scenic backroads of the Berkshires in western Massachusetts to raise funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.This is my third-year riding Unpaved in honor of the legendary Jeff Godin, my coach of 12 years who passed away last year after a heroic battle with pancreatic cancer. Today, June 22nd, marks the one year anniversary of Jeff's passing & he is missed but I take great comfort in knowing he left an indelible mark on the lives of so many as coach, professor, mentor, and accomplished athlete.

I hope I can count on your support this year as I ride and raise funds for Dana Farber Cancer Institute, where Jeff spent his final weeks participating in a clinical trial. With cuts to the National Insititutes of Health (NIH), it is more important than ever that we support the work of Dana Farber. NIH grants fuel the science that saves lives so less NIH funding means losing momentum in our fight against cancer.

Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference and 100% of the donations are directed to Dana Farber to help understand and treat this horrible disease so that amazing & inspiring people like Jeff have a chance to live long & healthy lives.
