When the annual Pan-Mass Challenge bike-a-thon for cancer research begins Saturday, two Berkshire County riders who bonded as soul mates and survivors of the disease will team up. The event is a major fundraiser for the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center in Boston. And Fredrick Knight, a first-time rider, and his close friend, Suzanne Merritt, credit the renowned hospital for saving their lives. During a conversation with The Eagle, they also pointed out that their goal — giving back to Dana-Farber and to their Berkshire supporters — has a direct community impact. That’s because, in 2015, Berkshire Medical Center became an affiliate of the Dana-Farber Cancer Care Collaborative, meaning that BMC’s standards and practices are validated by one of the nation’s leading cancer care and research institutions, benefiting the hospital’s patients.
