Dear Family & Friends,

I am happy to be riding in my 17th PMC on August 2nd and 3rd. This year, I will be riding the traditional two day route from Sturbridge to Provincetown as a member of Team Forza-G. I hope to participate in the “Day-0” ride from the Massachusetts/New York state line to Sturbridge on August 1st to complete a three day bicycle ride across Massachusetts.

I will be riding with my Forza-G teammates in support of my commitments of logging 280+ miles and fundraising to support the patients, researchers, doctors, and nurses at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

Last year PMC surpassed the amazing milestone of $1 Billion in total fundraising gifted to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute continuing to fund cancer research, clinical trials and patient care. Thanks to your generosity, I’ve raised more than $164K over my 16 years riding and hope to raise another $8K this year, contributing to the PMC’s annual goal of $75 Million. One hundred percent of rider donations pass directly through to Dana-Farber.

I know you have many choices when it comes to making charitable donations and I’m grateful for your consideration and support. If you’d like to learn more about my ride you can visit: http://www.pmc.org/profile/BN0036. Donations can be made online or checks can be made payable to: PMC, Jimmy Fund, DFCI (or any combination of the three) and mailed to me at: Brian Nelson, 43 Wood Terrace Framingham, MA 01702.

Thank you for your continued support.

Brian Nelson
