I ride to raise money to find a CURE!

I'm sure you can Imagine this: You go in for a routine screening—mammogram, colonoscopy, prostate exam, skin check—and then you hear the words no one wants to hear: “We need to take a closer look.” The worry sets in. What if the results come back positive? Now, imagine it’s not you, but a toddler—a little child diagnosed with a tumor. In an instant, their whole world, and yours, is turned upside down, like getting hit by a truck.

But what if we didn’t have to live with that fear? What if a cure existed, and cancer was no longer a battle for survival, but a thing of the past, same as the common cold? I’m riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge because I believe in that future. Every dollar raised brings us closer to a cure.” Every dollar raised goes to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

Many hugs and a very large thank you for your donations.

The Pan-Mass Challenge raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country, more than $1 billion since 1980 and $75 million in 2024 alone! This success is the result of a lot of people riding for, and caring about, a cure. And because every penny matters, 100 percent of your donation goes to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

This year I have made a commitment to ride in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), which is an 186 mile bike-a-thon that raises money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I have a personal fundraising goal of $6,000, and every dollar raised will contribute to this life-saving cancer research. If you are interested in supporting my ride and donation goals, please click on my donation link or share my post with family and friends!

If you or anyone you know is currently battling cancer, living cancer-free after a brave fight, or has lost the battle, I will be adding names to my bike to honor on my ride. Please feel free to reach out with any names you would like to share, I look forward to riding for them.

Here’s another reason to support my PMC fundraising: With a donation of $50 or more, you can save on any new or existing Massachusetts MAPFRE Insurance auto policy. Once you donate, just forward your receipt to your insurance provider who can take it from there.

Every donation brings us closer by the mile.

Thank you,
Eileen Gromann
