Hi Friends!

I am proud to be participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge this year - a bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country - to bring us Closer by the Mile to a cure for cancer. While the physical demands of the ride intimidate me, I am motivated by the incredibly important cause that the PMC supports.

Cancer touches all of us, whether you have lost someone, supported a friend through treatment, or faced it yourself. Since its founding, PMC riders like me have raised more than $1 billion for lifesaving cancer research, treatment and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, one of the country's top cancer care hospitals. My PMC is making a difference in the lives of patients at Dana-Farber and around the world. The funds I raise support the innovative work of doctors, nurses, and scientists in their search for cures for cancers and related diseases.

Your donation, big or small, helps fuel this mission. 100 percent of every dollar I raise goes directly to Dana-Farber, meaning that your donation has a real impact. Please consider donating to my PMC page and help me reach my fundraising goal.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!
