Dear Friends and Family,

As many of you know, the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) is an event incredibly close to my heart. This year marks my 12th year riding in this incredible journey, and I am once again preparing to pedal for a cause that touches so many lives: supporting the groundbreaking work at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

My goal this year is to raise $2,000.00. This figure represents more than just a number; it represents hope, progress, and a tangible contribution to the fight against cancer.

What makes the PMC truly unique and so impactful is its unwavering commitment: 100% of every single dollar I raise goes directly to Dana-Farber for cancer research and world-class patient treatment. This means that every contribution, no matter the size, directly fuels the innovative science that leads to new therapies and provides compassionate care to those battling this disease.

I ride for the survivors, for those currently fighting, and in memory of those we've lost. I ride because I believe in a future free from cancer, and Dana-Farber is at the forefront of making that future a reality.

I know that everyone's circumstances are different, and that's why I want to emphasize that no donation is too small. Every dollar truly helps. A $5 donation can be just as meaningful as a larger one, because when combined with others, it creates a powerful wave of support. Your generosity, in any amount, will make a real difference in the lives of countless patients and their families.

Thank you for considering supporting my ride and, more importantly, for joining me in the fight against cancer. Your belief in this cause, and your support, mean the world to me.

Your donation wouldn't just fuel my journey; it would honor the memory of loved ones like Howard Woodbury, Arvy Lundberg, Stevie, Danny B, Bob Jordan, Kenny Barone, Audrey Y, Willy Cloutier, Jim C, Pat Grady, Ralph Jenks, Darren Bunyan, and Al Martin who fought bravely, and celebrate the ongoing victories of Cathy Kimball, Lynn C, Joni C, Chris C, and Bob C., living proof of hope.

Thank you for supporting my ride! -Gary
