Dear family and friends,
As summer sun warms the days, my thoughts turn towards a familiar challenge - conquering the 192 miles of the 2024 Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) on August 3rd and 4th in support of Dana-Farber. This year marks my 11th journey on two wheels, and the passion for this cause never fades.
This year, I'm aiming to raise $6,000 for Dana-Farber, and any contribution you can make, big or small, would be a powerful force against cancer's shadow. Knowing that 100% of rider-donated funds go directly to Dana-Farber, with overhead costs covered separately, adds a powerful layer of meaning to each pedal stroke.
For many, a cancer diagnosis brings fear and isolation. It's in those moments that Dana-Farber steps in, not just with cutting-edge research and compassionate care, but with a beacon of hope. The PMC fuels this vital work, allowing Dana-Farber to:
- Prevent more cancers and relapses.
- Treat more cancers successfully.
- Support patients, families, and survivors through clinical trials and holistic programs.
Your donation wouldn't just fuel my journey; it would honor the memory of loved ones like Howard Woodbury, Arvy Lundberg, Stevie, Danny B, Bob Jordan, Kenny Barone, Audrey Y, Willy Cloutier, Jim C, Pat Grady, Ralph Jenks, Darren Bunyan, and Al Martin who fought bravely, and celebrate the ongoing victories of Cathy Kimball, Lynn C, Joni C, Chris C, and Bob C., living proof of hope.
Thank you for supporting my ride! -Gary
