Milton resident Brendan McLaughlin has participated in eight Pan-Massachusetts Challenges, a 170-mile bike ride that benefits the Dana Farber Cancer Institute's Jimmy Fund.
The riders in the 33rd Annual Pan-Massachusetts Challenge, a charity bike-a-thon that took place on August 4 and 5, all have their reasons to support the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund. Milton resident Brendan McLaughlin rode the 170-mile, two-day route from Wellesley to Provincetown, out of gratitude. For the eighth time, McLaughlin rode for previous cancer patients, for doctors, for nurses and for hope. The McLaughlin family’s dedication to the cause supported by the weekend trek across the state began with a cancer diagnosis in 1994. Brendan and his wife Mary McLaughlin, who participated in the PMC from 2001 to 2004 and in 2006 and 2007, took their then two-year old son Conor to the doctor for a routine check-up. …
