Donald's 2025 PMC appeal

(updated 6/25/25)

In less than 4 weeks on August 2-3, I plan to ride in my 16th PMC. I will again be riding the full 162-mile ride from Wellesley to Bourne, then Bourne to Provincetown.

I started my training rides on the last day of April and have ridden about 700 miles so far. The weather in terms of both rain, poor air quality, and extreme heat has been quite a challenge. Bad conditions matter when long rides take a while, like a 65-mile ride lasting ~5 hours including stops. As a result, so far I’ve chosen to ride nearly 2/3 of my training rides indoors. Indoor training is more intense with fewer breaks. However, I prefer biking outdoors, real hills are very different than simulated ones, and just more fun. I’m hoping that in the remaining weeks, I’ll be able to get in almost all outdoor rides. I have over 300 miles still planned to ride before the PMC.

The PMC is about raising money to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s (DFCI) commitment to finding a cure for cancer. The PMC’s 2025 goal is a record $76 million. The PMC organizers encourage us to raise more each year, a push that I pass on to my sponsors, so my goal this year is an ambitious $26,000. This amount will also put my 16-year cumulative total above $290,000. In my previous 15 years of riding and fundraising, over 1625 donations from 331 different donors have combined to raise $264,787 to cure cancer! Thank you!

During the ride, I'll again be displaying a list of names on the back of my bike to honor family and friends who have died from cancer, are still fighting it, or are “cured.” I would be honored to add names to recognize your family and friends. Even if you are not donating this year, please confirm to me the details of who you would like me to include on my list.

For those who can, I ask you to consider the many reasons you have to be generous as you decide on your donation to the cause. 100% of your contribution goes directly to support the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

To make a donation using a Donor Advised Fund, a Bank Account, a credit/debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Venmo, click on a donation amount to the left of this text (you may need to scroll up too).

If you would like to make a donation by check, please make the check payable to
PMC-Jimmy Fund and mail it to:
Donald Fried-Tanzer
16 Wakan Drive
Katonah, NY 10536

Thank you for your generous support!
Together, we can help find a cure for cancer!
