Me and my family ride for our good friend Jonathan Malerba. He is a recent graduate of Medford High School and will be attending UMass Boston this fall. He is one of the most positive people I know. He has a passion for all sports, photography, and the transit system Ask Jonathan what stop they should get off on any train and he will tell you. He is our inspiration every year to get on our bikes and ride. We are passionate about him and finding a cure!
I am riding in Coast to the Cure to raise awareness and support for those affected by neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. The funds I raise will support the mission of NF Northeast: helping to fund patient and family support programs, advocacy efforts, and cutting-edge research.
Every mile I ride brings us closer to better treatments, increased awareness, and a brighter future for those living with NF. Thank you for supporting this important cause!
