Dear friends,
I am writing to ask you for your help with a huge endeavour. This summer, I am riding in the Pan Mass Challenge and I will need all the help I can get.

Those of you who live in Massachusetts probably know about the PMC. It's a sponsored bike ride on a weekend in August, from Sturbridge to Provincetown. That's 200 miles in two days. And, oh yeah I am trying to raise $10,000 (about £7,000). My team is called Path to the Cure.

You may ask why I would put myself through such physical agony and financial nightmare. Well, every penny I raise will go to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. And what I experience will be nothing compared to the pain, anguish, and financial difficulties some of their patients will go through.

DFCI is certainly the premier cancer research institute in Boston, and arguably in the world. They treat everyone. If you know someone who is fighting cancer in Boston, they are probably being treated there. if you know someone fighting cancer elsewhere in the world, their doctors may well have trained there. You can be sure that their doctors are using research that was done at DFCI.
People come from all over the world to be treated at DFCI, because they know that they will get the most advanced care, and that doctors will learn from them so that they can more successfully treat others.

Some of my team mates in Path to the Cure are researchers at DFCI, fighting cancer for their patients every day. I have been humbled and inspired by what they are doing to make life better for all of us.

Please sponsor me. All the money that you give will go to DFCI and help to fight cancer. So please be generous. Most of us have been touched by cancer, and this is a way that we can all fight back.

With thanks,
Daniel
