2024 = my 23rd year as breast cancer survivor, 'PMC witness', virtual rider... With infinite gratitude, I credit Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's (DFCI's) research, treatment, and clinical support - plus input from patients & families who've 'been there,' I pray cancer claims far fewer patients in coming years... and that cancer patients receive strength, plus encouragement & results similar to mine!
I am doing well ... yet this is not the case for many who struggle to survive or thrive. I continue contributing to PMC for their sake. I ask your participation - as my virtual team - to help raise funds that assist DFCI to detect cancer, test appropriately, then apply leading-edge treatment - ultimately targeting cure cure!
YOUR gift - small OR sustaining - is ALWAYS appreciated and well utilized. If you prefer to write your check to PMC & then mail it to me, let's first confirm your payment method: Credit card, Donor-Advised Fund, personal check, or other forms of funds-transfer PMC works with you efficiently, discreetly, and confidentially. If you write of send a check, please endorse it to Pan-Mass Challenge (... or to PMC). Please indicate BH0072 ride on the check's memo line.. (Voila ! Merci ! Todah! Arigatoh! Spassibah! Shukran! Shukriah! Gracias!)
AND To Contribute, please follow 'prompts' shown at left, or - indicate your own gift. A 'virtual' rider, now, I hopped-off the bike into the food tent (or Info area), helping to prep or nourish riders throughout their Challenge!
To Witness PMC is to Celebrate: My first PMC experience was at a water-stop /food tent en route to Bourne, MA. A friend (neighbor, Nancy P - (also br ca survivor) accompanied me to greet PMC riders ... an amazing outpouring of enthusiasm, celebration-of-life and love (. . . for those who are alive and for those whom we'll forever remember).
THIS year, I have decided to contribute all 2024 proceeds as 'Unrestricted Gift' to the research and clinical efforts of DFCI's Breast Oncology Group, my treatment Alma Mater.Thank you so much for being a 'Gift-That-Keeps-On-Giving!'
To Commemorate is ALSO TO WITNESS:
