In memory of my sister Helene Koelsch who lost her life to breast cancer and my brother in law Billy Brown to esophageal cancer, I will join over 5500 other cyclists in the Pan Massachuesetts challenge, a bike-a-thon that raises money for cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure. I will be riding a 193 mile route from Sturbridge to Providencetown. To take part in this event i need to raise a minumum of $6,000 and am asking for your help in achieving this goal. Donations are tax deductalbe and may be made on line at http://www.pmc.org/79706-7. If you prefer to write a check, plese make it out to the PMC, the jimmy fund or Dana Farber cancer Institiute and mail to me. Thank you for your support! Gerard
