In August of 2019 I was diagnosed with advanced Stage 3 Colon Cancer. Over the course of the following year I underwent 9 chemo treatments, 20 targeted radiation treatments, and 2 surgeries. I was fortunate to have been able to receive world class care and support from the teams at Cooley Dickenson Hospital and Mass General Hospital. I will forever be indebted to those who supported me along my journey to recovery and remission. It is now my turn to pay it forward and give back to the system that saved my life. On June 15th, I will be pedaling my way through the pioneer valley to raise money for Bikes Fight Cancer. 100% of all rider raised funds will support valuable cancer care services to patients, families and caregivers as well as funding hospitals focused on advancing cancer research.
LOVE BIKES. HATE CANCER.
