And once again, I'm asking you to consider making a donation.
The Pan-Mass Challenge is a bike riding event where riders cover a good part of the state of Massachusetts over one or two days. Nice folks like us give donations. The money raised goes to support cancer research at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. That includes research in blood cancers like Follicular Lymphoma.
Mike has been doing the PMC for a while now -- this is his 11th year. He has personally raised over $65,000 for cancer research. For this I am most proud of him, and most grateful.
You can read more about the PMC, and Mike's ride, below.
Please consider making a donation to his ride -- even a small one.
Thanks.
******************
This
year on August 4th, I will be joining over 5,000 cyclists riding for
my 11th year in the Pan Mass Challenge to raise research funds for
the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
As many of you may know from sponsoring me in the past, this cause is especially personal to me as I have had several immediate family members and close friends that have been diagnosed and treated successfully for many different types of cancers. Some, like my brother Bob, have been beneficiaries of the breakthrough research that has been conducted at the DFMC.
Since 1980, the PMC has raised almost $600 million for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber. The majority of this impressive total is considered unrestricted support -- critical, flexible funding that can be directed where and when it is needed most. As the PMC generates nearly half of the Jimmy Fund's annual revenue, every rider supports the efforts of more than 3,000 DFCI faculty and staff members as they make countless advances that have become the standard of cancer care and research.
I’m asking you to join me in the fight against cancer by sponsoring me in my ride with the 2018 Pan Mass Challenge. The doctors and researchers at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston are making tremendous progress in finding a cure for this terrible disease, but we need to continue to fund the fight and bring this to an end.
The easiest way to donate is to give on-line. The PMC site is a secure site.
