Dear Friends and Family,
On August 3rd, I'm joining over 6,000 cyclists participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge, an annual bike-a-thon that donates 100% of every rider-raised dollar to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Two years ago, my mom flew into Boston from Portland, Oregon to ride alongside me, and this year, I'm thrilled to share that she will be returning for an encore!
In taking on this endeavor, we're committing to raising at least $4000 apiece to fund cancer research at Dana-Farber, as well as help the PMC surpass the staggering milestone of $1 billion in total fundraising since its inception in 1980.
Here's our plan:
- Wheels up: Saturday, August 3rd, 6:00am
- Route: 85 miles starting at Babson College in Wellesley, MA and ending at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Bourne
- Fundraising Goal: At least $4000
- Matching: Tripadvisor and I will match up to $100 from each donor through August 5th
All proceeds will benefit Dr. Kenneth Anderson's Multiple Myeloma Research Fund at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dr. Anderson's research has led to novel immune therapies and effective treatments for colon cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and ovarian cancer, among others. Any amount that you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you once again for your support and encouragement.
Brian
