Dear Friends,

I will be riding the PMC again this weekend - year 17!! This year feels extra special for me. I reconnected with an old classmate earlier this summer - Joe told me he is alive today because of the care and treatment he received at Dana Farber. I will be thinking of Joe's smile, joy and love for life as I cross the finish line in Bourne!!

I continue to hold the memories of so many in my heart (everyday but even more so on PMC weekend) as I ride - Jack, Roland, Rob, Tricia, Michael, and my father. I will alway ride in hope for those who continue to fight everyday - Gia, Kim, and so many others!

I am proud to say my daughter will be riding with me, my sister and my nephew this year. We are just a few of many determined with a single mission - TO FIND A CURE FOR CANCER!

The PMC’s mission is to raise funds for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 100% of every rider raised dollar goes directly to Dana Farber. I am so proud to be a small part of this great mission, that supports such an amazing hospital and staff.

I am so grateful for your past generosity, and hope I can continue to count on you to help me raise money for this very special cause. Please feel free to share this information with friends, family and coworkers, corporate matches. Every dollar raised brings us closer to a cure!

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to the PMC!

Love always,

Gabrielle
