Dear Friends and Family:
After seven years of bliss, we learned in the fall of 2020 that Wolfram's angiosarcoma had returned on the other side of his face. Once again, he faced the many months of treatment that followed his diagnosis with great strength and determination. His outstanding doctors, nurses, and therapists at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute did everything they could to make sure he could beat this cancer again, only this time they had more and better tools to work with. Wolfram was able to receive newly-developed immunotherapy in a study only available at Dana-Farber. It melted his cancer away, allowing for less invasive surgery and (slightly) easier radiation. Can there be a better example that the funds raised through the Pan Mass Challenge really bring us closer to a cure?
On August 8, Wolfram will be riding 100 miles from Wellesley to Wellesley with me. It will not be easy: he finished radiation only six weeks ago and is still on active immunotherapy treatment. We definitely did not train as much as we had planned, but it makes me so happy to be able to ride with him once more.
My goal this year is to raise $5,500 to bring us closer to more lifesaving treatments. Please donate to my PMC ride through one of the links on the left. Your donation is tax deductible and 100% will go to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
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 to me directly at:
