Hello to my dear friends and family…
“RESILIENCE ~ COURAGE ~ KINDNESS.” We’ve been reminded that if we can live by those traits in these trying times, we will persevere and thrive, not just survive. During the intense past year with the pandemic along with economic, racial, and social injustices, it was a difficult decision whether to reach out regarding my 2020 virtual Pan Mass Challenge ride in support of cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In fact, I waited until June to connect with you all, concerned about taking attention from the other critical issues we were facing globally and locally. Then I got the “wake-up call” from a colleague about a loved one who lost their hard-fought battle to cancer. I knew that I had to have the courage to ask for help in fighting this insidious disease that put my future in question back in 2006 and took my dear sister Jean from our family in 2010. I said “Cancer isn’t taking the year off…Neither am I.”
You all didn’t take the year off from supporting the fight against cancer, rallying to raise $36,064 while the PMC raised $50 Million overall! It’s no wonder this event was ranked #1 in Cause-Related Cycling in a 2020 survey by Cadence Sports and Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum. I can’t than you enough for your support; it was humbling and amazing all at the same time. Kindness can be one of the most powerful tools out there for building social bonds, helping those in need, and achieving success, which in this case means advancing our collective dream of a world without cancer.
There are far too many dealing with not only the challenges I listed above but also their own cancer battles & treatment plans. I humbly extend to you the option to support my 14th ride which is going to happen in person with extensive safety protocols on Aug. 7-8. I’m blessed and honored to have raised $402,628 over the past 13 years. If you’re willing and able to support my efforts to raise $40,000 this year, I’ll be deeply grateful. But if you’re not able to do so, I’ll be equally thankful for your prayers for a world without cancer…and a world fueled by kindness.
Love & peace...Christine
