I'm proud to be riding in my 3rd PMC in August! My experience in my first two years was incredible from the thousands of riders who participated, to the lined streets of supporters cheering us on (even at 5am!), to the record breaking $56 Million that was raised to help fight cancer last year. It is always the most inspiring weekend of the year and I know that it would be impossible for me not to do this every year!
Did you know that 100% of rider-raised revenue goes directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure? This is just one more reason that this stand up organization is worth riding for. 100% of your donation will directly affect those that need it!
Like everyone else, this is a disease that has affected my friends and family. I've sadly lost love ones over the past few years, but this year I'm riding for the fighters! I ride to support those that take on the daily battle to kick cancer's butt and are winning (like my Mom over this past year)! I want them all to know that we have your back and are here to support you!
Cancer is a disease that we are all susceptible to - old and young, adults and children. It is heartbreaking to see young children having to battle through what would be the toughest fight of anyone's life. With the money I am raising, 100% of the donated funds will go directly to precision medicine research for children battling rare tumors at DFCI. Precision medicine customizes the solution by analyzing the tumor's DNA structure, finding commonalities with other known cancers and then catering the treatment to target the infected areas in an effort to limit the side effects and provide that child with the most normal life through and after the treatment.
Please join the fight by donating to my ride. Your donation may be what helps save a child's life!
