Dear Friends –

I will be participating in my sixth Pan-Mass Challenge - the largest charity bicycling event in the country. I will again be riding the 168 mile route as a member of the New England Patriots Platelet Pedalers team.

The unfortunate truth is that I don't know a single person who hasn't been affected by cancer in some way - a family member, a friend or themselves. Fortunately, we are seeing remarkable advances that are leading to early diagnosis, effective treatments and models for future cures. I want to play a role in supporting those advancements – so I ride.

I hope you will consider supporting Dana-Farber through a donation to my Pan-Mass Challenge ride. My goal is to raise $6,000 this year. With your help, we have raised over $30,000 for Dana Farber through my PMC rides over the least five years. Let's keep the trend going!

100% of PMC rider-raised revenue will directly support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

AT PMC, they like to say we're getting closer to a cure by the mile. That's true. However, we simply cannot cross the finish line without the help of a peloton of supporters. Thank you for your consideration.

With gratitude,

Dan

PS. Thousands of individuals will ride in the Pan-Mass Challenge this August. If you are already supporting one of those riders, thank you!
