Let it Ride… I’m doing the Pan-Mass Challenge!
After many conversations with my better half I have decided to join her in doing this years 192 mile Pan-Mass Challenge bike ride in August. This will be my second year in a row which had something to do with the decision. I plan on doing this Cancer fundraiser as long as friends and family; you, continue to support me. Johanna very much wanted to do this years ride however she isn't sure if she will do it 'ever year' (in a perfect world she will). We both felt that consistency in my doing this event was the most important factor.
This was no easy decision to make, Johanna and I are now on the line for $8,400 in donations to raise. We are just over half way there and would greatly appreciate your support. I have no clue how to get to this magic number in this awful economy, I only know that I can try, if you have given in the past please consider CHOPPING that donation in HALF! Any amount will help.

For those new to why I do this ride and learn more about my Son’s successful year long battle against Leukemia, click here.
The other reasons I'm riding:
- I can help, I can do something that will chip away at this nasty disease that affects so many of our loved ones.
- The overwhelming envy that i will feel watching and cheering my wife on, I'm not a good spectator.
- I can.
- My good friend Dave Tyler announced he is doing the ride. It was a sign.
- Momentum, last year I was able to raise a lot of money, knowing they need it more then ever this year is a driving force.
- Making a donation today, no matter how small, will make your day; guaranteed.
- I can.
- Having Ethan around after his cancer battle is like Christmas and My birthday rolled into one, every day. This is my way to give back.
- I want to ensure no family goes through what mine went through.
- Fuck you cancer.
