Our friend Mike Feeley was an avid biker who lost his battle with cancer on May 15th. Mike received excellent care at Dana-Farber, so to honor him and raise money in his memory, on June 18th, I will be pedaling my way through the pioneer valley as part of the Bikes Fight Cancer Fundraiser.
I think most of us have lost someone we love to cancer. This is a way for us to honor their memory and raise much needed funds for research and education so there may come a time when that's not the case.
These life saving funds will relieve the burden of disease now and for the future through our research, clinical care, education, outreach and advocacy. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's ultimate goal is the eradication of cancer, and related diseases and the fear that they engender. Please support my ride, and help create a future free of cancer.
LOVE BIKES. HATE CANCER.
