Dear Friends,

This will be my 19th year of participation in the upcoming 2022 Pan Mass Challenge (PMC); it's for a great cause and I am really looking forward to this fun and challenging cycling event! Cancer is an illness that has certainly touched us all and many of us have loved one's or friends who've fought and survived this debilitating disease with the help of important cancer research, medications and treatments. For others, their battle with cancer was sadly overcome by the disease itself.

The mission of the Pan Mass Challenge is to raise money for the Jimmy Fund, the principle fundraising arm of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. This year's goal is to raise over $65+ Million in a single weekend event, of which 100 percent of your domnation goes directly to the Dana Farber Research Institute itself.

Over the many years of my life, I've ridden my bicycle(s) thousands of miles, training and racing during my high school and college years as a competitive bicycle racer, cycling across the U.S. in 1983 with my friend Joel, cycling as my main transportation mode in Fiji as a Peace Corps Volunteer, touring through Europe and other countries, and this year, my goal is to continue to use my love of cycling to give back to such a worthy cause; the hope and fight for the elimination of cancer. I'll be riding as much as I can - training for this event with my wife Laurie in addition to raising the funds for this year's PMC - I've committed to raising over $3,000.

I have always been amazed at the generosity of my friends, colleagues, and family. I would like to say a word of thanks all those that support me financially, physically, and emotionally for this worthy cause. Please help me contribute towards this year's PMC goal of $65+ million, and my own personal goal, by clicking on the eGift section of this Profile Page.

Thanks again for your support which is truly appreciated!

Alan
