Meet the Man Behind the Pan-Mass Challenge in Massachusetts
This weekend, thousands of cyclists will hit the roads of Massachusetts for the Pan-Mass Challenge, a massive charity bike ride that’s raised over $1 billion for cancer research. TODAY’s Craig Melvin chats with Billy Starr, the event’s founder, about how personal loss drove him to create this legacy—turning grief into a force for good.
Editor’s Note: The Pan-Mass Challenge isn’t just another fundraiser—it’s proof that one person’s idea can ripple into something extraordinary. Starr’s story shows how channeling pain into purpose can create lasting change, and with cancer affecting nearly everyone in some way, this event’s impact hits close to home for countless families. Plus, hitting the $1 billion mark? That’s a reminder of what collective effort can achieve.

NegativeHealth
U.S. kindergarten vaccination rates dropped slightly last year, while the number of children with exemptions from required vaccines hit a record high, continuing a concerning trend.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just a bureaucratic worry—fewer vaccinated kids mean higher risks of outbreaks for diseases like measles, which can spread fast in schools. It’s a red flag for parents and policymakers alike, showing that vaccine hesitancy or access issues aren’t going away.

A “Combat Cocktail” is a powerful drug mix that tranquilizes vets with PTSD. They don’t want it. Doctors say it’s dangerous. Hundreds of thousands still get it.
NegativeHealth

Many veterans say they don’t want this treatment, and medical professionals warn it increases suicide risk. Yet, hundreds of thousands continue to receive it.
Editor’s Note: This story highlights a troubling gap between medical practice and patient well-being in the VA system. Veterans struggling with PTSD are being given drugs that could make their condition worse, raising serious ethical and safety questions. It’s a stark reminder of how systemic failures can harm those who’ve already sacrificed so much.
