Dear friends and family,

Thank you so much for donating money to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in the past in support of my rides in the Pan Mass Challenge. For the fourteenth time, I'll be raising money with my family this summer for lifesaving cancer research. In a few days, my siblings and my dad will ride from Wellesley to Provincetown with other PMC riders, and I'll be joining them in spirit in my own Reimagined Ride in Yosemite National Park.

We all know friends and loved ones impacted by cancer. Dana Farber helped my mom successfully treat breast cancer two summers ago, and one year ago, the doctors and nurses there supported her through another round of testing and surgery, treating her with expert care and compassion during a global pandemic. Thankfully the tests all showed that she is still cancer free. My entire family is grateful for the fantastic care my mom and so many others receive at the DFCI. The research DFCI funds through PMC donations gives me hope that one day no one will have to face a cancer diagnosis.

This year, I’m committed to raising $2,500 to say thank you to Dana Farber. I'll be hiking and biking in Yosemite next week, fundraising to find a cure for cancer. I’m asking friends and family to donate only if you can. $10, $15 or $20 donations go a long way! Every dollar raised by the PMC goes directly to patients, doctors, and researchers at Dana Farber. If I reach my fundraising goal this year, I will have raised over $100,000 for Dana Farber since my first ride in 2008. That accomplishment is only possible because of your continued generosity. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your support. I hope you are staying safe and healthy!

Love,
Justine
