My story is probably the same as your story - we all have too many friends & relatives that are battling cancer, or have already lost their battle with cancer.

For me, I have one grandfather that I never met. For my children, they have two grandfathers they will hardly remember. And now they have aunts and uncles that are survivors.

My story only differs from yours in that I have committed to raise $6,000 and ride my bike in the heat of the summer on this 2-day, 186-mile bike ride. This will be my eighteenth consecutive year participating in the PAN-MASS ride and I cannot begin to explain in words how emotionally uplifting this event is for me. I helped start Team Courage Coneheads in 2008 with four other riders. Over the years the Coneheads have grown to over 20 riders and we have raised over $3 MILLION thanks to the generous support of our friends, families and co-workers like you. As a team, we are striving to raise $300,000 this year in support of the PMC's milestone achievement of contributing over $1 BILLION to the DFCI this year. We're ONE in a Billion!

Please be generous with your donations and help me achieve Heavy Hitter status by reaching my goal of $10,000.

Established by Billy Starr in 1980 and under his direction, the PMC has grown considerably and consistently from its modest beginnings into an event that draws 6,000 cyclists from 41 states and seven countries. Today, the Pan-Mass Challenge raises more money than any other athletic fundraising event in the country. The PMC generates more than 50% of the Jimmy Fund's annual revenue and it is Dana-Farber's single largest contributor. Over the past 44 years, PMC cyclists have ridden to raise and contribute well over $1 BILLION toward cancer research.
