The Pan Mass Challenge 2017 has raised over $39 million for the Dana Farber Cancer Center, with 100% of every rider-raised donation going to cancer research and treatment.

My friend Elliot and I raised more than $17,000 for our ride from Wellesley to Bourne (84 miles) and then Bourne to Provincetown (75 miles).

I didn't know if I was ready for the physical part of it, but was overwhelmed by the emotional part of it, with cancer survivors and patients turning out along the entire route to cheer us on. The cycling part of it really became secondary...

(on edit: Oh, yeah, and the ride back to Boston was in a league of its own:

)
