Dear friends:

This is my fourth year riding the Pan Mass Challenge and my first two-day ride (168 miles) and am so excited! However I need your support. I ride for the Patriot Platelet Pedalers and have made a commitment to raise $5,000 which 100% of all donations go to cancer research at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. I am so grateful to so many of you for your support the past 3 years and for those who will donate for the first time. You don't have to ride to be a champion! Please consider donating in any amount and together we can help make cancer extinct.

Go to pmc.org/DM0426 to donate online. If you prefer to write a check, please make it out to the PMC, the Jimmy Fund or Dana Farber Cancer Institute and mail it back to me at 83 Russell Mills Road, Plymouth MA 02360.

With thanks and a grateful heart, Donna Mercer
