Dear friends, for the 8th year I am joining 7,500 other riders to take part in this year's Pan Mass Challenge, this event holds special significance for me this year as both my Father and a close family friend are currently in remission from this terrible disease.

I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.

The PMC makes a huge difference to people's lives, this is powerfully illustrated by the crowds cheering the riders on every step of the way, no matter how hot, cold or wet the conditions are.

I have personally commited to raising $6,000 to aid the fight.

Anything you can spare to support this great cause will be hugely appreciated, let's put an end to Cancer.

Best, Simon.
