This summer, Curtis is once again taking on the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC)—an inspiring, statewide bike ride that raises money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. It’s more than just a ride; it’s a movement powered by hope, grit, and community. And for Curtis, it’s personal.

The PMC is one of the largest athletic fundraising events in the country, with 100% of rider-raised funds going directly to Dana-Farber. Riders cover hundreds of miles across Massachusetts in just two days, each with their own reason for showing up—and their own person or story fueling every pedal stroke.

Curtis has been a passionate supporter of this cause for years. Known around town for his big heart and even bigger commitment to community, he’s the kind of neighbor who shows up—whether it’s coaching a local team, supporting small businesses, or organizing neighborhood cleanups. The PMC is just one more way he turns his energy toward making a difference.

This year, Curtis is setting an ambitious fundraising goal, and every contribution brings him closer—not just to his total, but to a future without cancer. Whether you’ve seen him training around Watertown or know someone touched by cancer, this is a chance to rally around a great cause with a great person leading the charge.

How You Can Help:

  • Donate: Every dollar helps fund cutting-edge research and care at Dana-Farber. 
  • Share: Spread the word on social media or in your community to boost Curtis’s efforts.
  • Cheer: If you see Curtis out riding, give him a wave or a shout—your encouragement means more than you know.
