Dear Friends,

This will be my 17th year riding in the Pan Mass Challenge being held on Saturday, August 3rd, 2024. Our team has been training hard the last two months, but I have found the hills being higher and my pace a little slower, but I am almost ready for the challenge with the help of my friends for another rewarding ride.

Last year our Team did the traditional 112-mile ride, raising a new all-time high of $115,799.12 helping the PMC surpass their goal reaching $72M! My personal fundraising total was $15,835.00 - all because of you, A decision I always make as soon as I cross 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, the PMC has raised $972 million for cancer research & treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This year, PMC’s fundraising goal is $75 million We have 10 riders, signed up with Team Cyclosaurass in 2024 - and we will do all we can to help raise funds to help them reach their goal. We ride with a commitment to our family and friends who have had to fight this terrible disease, and also for those who fought the fight, but lost the battle. We are also extremely motivated for you our contributor and your family and friends, who have also fought or are fighting this terrible disease.

I have attached a link below that will take you to my webpage, which explains the event in-depth. Any donation is appreciated, which can be done online through the secure website via the attached link - or you can also send a check payable to PMC, and mail 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. I also appreciate any words of inspiration that you add to your online notes, as the 112-mile ride is always a challenge - but not even close to the battle of those who face cancer every day of their life! If you choose, you can also donate directly to the whole Team on the second link below, which we divide between our teammates who need to reach their goal.

I 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 3rd!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon. And for those who have already given this year, Thank You once again!

Sincerely,

David White
