My wife, Louise, and I have been supporting Dana Farber and the Jimmy Fund for over 10 years. It started out of a realization that we needed to give to a cause that could, someday, eradicate a disease that has affected a number of our friends and members or our families. Some battles were successful with great outcomes and some with only memories remaining.

One-hundred percent of all funds generated by the PMC end up directly supporting the fight against cancer. That is a remarkable accomplishment for any charity. When Louise asked me to ride (she said she talked me into it) I did not hesitate and said yes immediately. I did not know what I was getting into however. Now I know and I request your moral and financial support to complete the ride.
