CANCER MARCHES ON- SADLY IT NEVER TAKES A BREAK! Loved ones are getting diagnosed; some are battling, some battled and came out the other side and some we’ve lost.
Thousands of PMC pedalers and volunteers will be back on the road this August in our crusade against cancer. There is still much work to be done and we need to do it together.
This year my Dad, Emily and I will be riding together and raising funds for the Jimmy Fund! It will be my dad’s 31st consecutive ride, Emily’s 2nd ride and my 10th ride! The PMC has been a way of life for our family. Over the past 30 years, our family has collectively ridden 56 rides, raised a total of more than $350,000 and put in countless days of volunteering (GO NUNU!) and cheering along the route. We will do the hard work of training and riding and volunteering…..we ask you to help out and donate whatever you can. If you have creative fundraising suggestions please dont be shy... share them with us. If you work for a company that matches donations, let us know as well.... that is a super easy way for us to double donations.
Our fundraising commitments are significant this year ($18,000 for the 3 of us). Last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.
CANCER never ceases and until we find a cure…. We are committed to riding and raising for your people, for our people and because one day you or I may find ourselves on the other side.
Thank you
PS…. it feels like my list gets longer and longer each year and touches a little closer….
