Dear Friends,
This will be my 18th year riding in the Pan Mass Challenge being held on Saturday, August 2nd, 2025! Our team has been training hard the last few months, and I have found the hills to be just a little bit higher, and my pace a little slower, but with only a few months to go - I will be ready for the challenge, with the help of my friends for another rewarding ride. Last year our Team did the traditional 112-mile ride from Sturbridge to Bourne (with some even continuing on with the 2-day ride to Provincetown), raising $95.014.84 to help PMC reach their goal of $75M!
My personal fundraising total was $16,415 - all because of you! A decision always made, as soon as crossing the finish line every year, is to ride again! The passion and support of the participants, volunteers, and supporters you encounter during this event gives you a strong spirit of unity, and the drive to continue to ride year-after-year for those who cannot ride themselves.
Since 1980, PMC has raised $1.047 billion for Dana-Farber, which is incredible! This year, their fundraising goal is $76 million. Team Cyclosaurass has 10 riders signed up and ready to go, and we will do all we can to help PMC reach their goal. We ride with a commitment to our family and friends who have had to fight this terrible disease - as well as those who fought the fight, but lost the battle. Unfortunately, our list is growing for those we ride for; including one of our own teammates. We are extremely motivated by you - our contributors, and any of your family and friends who have fought or are dealing with this dreadful disease.
Shown below is a link that will take you to my webpage, which explains the event in-depth. Any donation is valued, which can be done online through the secure website via the attached link. I greatly appreciate the words of inspiration you add to your online notes, as the 112-mile ride is a challenge - but not even close to the battle of those who face cancer every day of their life! You also have the option to write a check payable to PMC, and mail directly to me at: David White, 41 Central Street, Auburn, MA 01501. PMC will send you an acknowledgement of your donation for tax purposes for both checks and online donations
If you choose, you may also donate directly to the whole Team on the second link below, which we divide between our teammates who need to reach their goal.
Thank you in advance for any contribution you can make, so that PMC’s mission of raising funds for cancer treatment and research to find a cure at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute can continue. It is important to note that 100% of every rider-raised dollar goes directly to the charity. Please support me and our Team Cyclosaurass as we ride for you on August 2nd!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
And for those who have already given this year, Thank You once again!
Sincerely,
David White
