Good evening, everyone! Happy almost summer, I hope you are all doing well. Over the first weekend of August, I will be participating in my third Pan Mass Challenge (PMC). This year it is back to the big show, the traditional two-day ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown. Last year I did a one-day century ride due to scheduling conflicts, which was fun but definitely not the same, so I am looking forward to getting back to the traditional route. It's good timing because this is the last year they are leaving from Sturbridge, as they are moving the start to Worcester beginning next year.

We all unfortunately know someone who has been impacted by the devastation of cancer. I have multiple friends and family who have been directly impacted, and just this past year two more were recently diagnosed. Both are fighting hard and have amazing support and treatment, and one of the biggest reasons why is the research and dedication from teams such as Dana Farber. The stories I've heard and the people I've met the past two years through the PMC have been incredible. Humbling doesn't even begin to scratch the surface, so if I can peddle my bike for two days and raise some money, it is the least I can do.

My personal fundraising campaign is officially underway. If you are not familiar, the PMC is an annual bike-a-thon to raise money for cancer research. Thank you VERY MUCH to everyone who has contributed to my rides in the past, it is much appreciated! My goal this year is to raise at least $6,000 with 100% of the money raised going directly to cancer research. If you are able, I would appreciate your support in reaching my goal. Any amount you are able to give will go a long way in supporting the cause. 

Thank you in advance and have a great summer. If I pass you on my bike, I'll be sure to wave!

Brian
