Reason for riding: Levy's brother, Perry, passed away in 1999 after a battle with small bowel cancer. His brother's wife, Melissa, started the Perry S. Levy Fellowship for Gastrointestinal Research fund at Dana-Farber and, along with the family, launched a PMC team. Team Perry has raised nearly $4 million for the fund, to date.

Training tip: "Time in the saddle. That’s the biggest thing."
