Hi,

Thanks for finding your way to my page. Most of you have been here before; I cant tell you how appreciative I am! Thanks to your support, this year's Campain marks a decade! In that time your generosity has put us at well over $60,000.00 that has all gone directly to cancer care and Research. Wow!

As most of you know, three years ago following a kidney cancer diagnosis, I became a DFCI patient. My perspective of Dana-Farber and the impact of PMC has changed greatly in that time. Recently, my daughter Danielle and I, along with my oncologist (Dr. Toni Choueiri) had the opprtunity to speak before a large group of PMC donors. Dr. T's message was very clear; PMC raised dollars are supporting the research that is on the verge of curing many types of cancers!! He went on to say that with continued finacial support, he is confident that Kidney Cancer is on that list! My message was and remains; I'm Living Proof of that. While I'm still in treatment, I am making very good progress. I have Dr. T, Dana-Farber and YOU to thank for that. As a PMC rider and someone close to a DFCI patient, Danielle delivered the message that her Dad's story is but one of thousands of cancer patients around the world who not only benefit from the work being done at DFCI, but depend on PMC generated funds to keep the machine churning.

If you are interested; this is the link to video: https://youtu.be/zrY5N3lIBUY (Danielle and I begin at 49 minutes)

I can't thank you enough for your previous support and humbly ask that you once again consider a contribution, know that your generosity is saving lives.

Peace...

Mark
