Dear Friends and Family,

Hope this email finds all of you well. On Sunday, August 7th, I will be participating in the Pan Mass Challenge for the sixth straight year. My training has already started towards this year’s goal of riding the 50 mile course from Babson College in Wellesley, MA to Patriot Place in Foxborough and back. Just like the past three years, I will be riding on the Patriots Platelet Pedalers team meaning all the money that I raise will go directly to Dr. Anderson at The Kraft Family Blood Donor Center. Dr. Anderson and his team primarily focus on Multiple Myeloma research and the development of novel therapies, but also many other programs within Dana Farber, including Pancreatic Cancer and Pediatric Oncology, where my donations have been directed in the past. Those were areas that were important to my Grammy, Barbara Strachman, whose memory I ride in every summer. Along with her, I ride in honor of friends and family who continue to benefit from the amazing work that Dana Farber does each day.

If you would like to support my ride, please follow this link to donate on-line: https://egifts.pmc.org/AS0407

If you prefer to write a check, please make it out to PMC-The Jimmy Fund and mail it directly to me at:

If your employer has a matching gift program, please ask your Human Resources department for a form, and follow the process for matches.

The PMC donates 100 percent of all rider-raised funds directly to cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. The PMC is Dana-Farber’s single largest supporter and is 55 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue. Since 1980, the PMC has raised $831 million for Dana-Farber.

Thank you so much for your generosity and helping with this important cause.

Alex
