Team General Catalyst makes a commitment each year to ride the PanMassChallenge together in support of Dana Farber. It's a day we look forward to all year long. We ride because PMC's impact on cancer research and treatment is truly life-saving. Primal has helped us create fun and unique team uniforms that capture the spirit and passion of our team time after time. We're cautious of our ingredient selection and use only the best.

We ride for our brave friends, families and co-workers who’ve been in some way affected by this devastating disease. We ride for better care and state-of-the-art research. We ride to raise awareness and to give a fighting chance to an at-risk occupation with a frighteningly high rate of affected individuals. We ride because the PMC is the single most successful charity in the battle against cancer, and the Boston Fire Department is among the leading occupations affected by it.

So if you feel so inclined, we’d be humbled and so grateful to have your support by way of a donation to our team. 100% of every rider-raised dollar goes directly to the cause!

The riders on Erica’s Entourage started riding, as friends and family of Erica, in 2013 to support Erica Kaitz (both moral support and resources for research) while she was a Dana-Farmer patient being treated for leiomyosarcoma. Erica was a 20 year PMC rider volunteer and/or staff member. After Erica passed later that year, we continued funding sarcoma research for a few years and later shifted our research priorities in order to support other team members in their own cancer struggles. To date, Erica’s Entourage has collectively raised over $7.5 Million and we are now funding research in brain, pancreatic and prostate cancers. We currently have around 80 riders on the team and have numbered over 100 several times. As Erica said to our team: “You buoy me in so many ways it is hard to describe.
