Ed Nalband's PMC

For the seventh year in a row, I am planning to raise money for the Pan Mass Challenge in support of the Dana Farber Cancer Center. This year I will ride for the first time as a retired physician! I still enjoy the personal challenge of the PMC and the life affirming benefits of regular exercise. But there are far more important reasons to ride. First amoungst them is the fact that cancer strikes us all in some way or another. I have cared for many cancer patients in my 41 year career as a physician. I have seen the devastating impact it can have on everyone it touches. Second, it has affected my famiy directly. My father had colon cancer, my mother ovarian cancer - aunts and uncles with prostate and lung cancer as well as myelodysplasia. My sister is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. I ride in memory of those I have lost and those who are facing the daily challenge of dealing with the reailty of cancer. If you have someone in your family or a friend who has cancer or lost their battle with it, please send me their name (ednalband@gmail.com) and I will include it on my jersey. Third, the money raised by our team (Riding as One) will support the care delivered to patients in our community who face financial challenges affording their treatment (known as the South Shore Patient Assistance Fund). Whatever you can give to help those confronting what may be the greatest challenge of their life is worth your consideration. Please contribute what you can to support DFCI's fight against cancer - for our community and their families.

Thank you sincerely for your help! Every donation brings us closer by the mile.

With gratitude,
Ed Nalband
