After a year in which we set a new record ($75 million!) and crossed $1 billion in lifetime fundraising for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, what does the Pan-Mass Challenge do for an encore? Step on the gas!
Rapid progress is being made in the fight against cancer - thanks to ever-faster computers, a deeper understanding of cancer genetics, and the ability to treat cancer with personalized solutions - and that makes PMC dollars more important than ever. Dana-Farber is known worldwide as a place for compassionate care AND best-in-class research: what happens HERE really does benefit patients EVERYWHERE. That's why we're going to raise a new record amount in 2025.
In this, my 17th year of riding the PMC, I'm participating in all three of our cycling events - starting with Winter Cycle on February 1st - and my goal is to beat last year's PR of $34,314. Every dollar counts, and 100% of what riders like us raises goes directly to Dana-Farber... nothing is taken out for PMC expenses.
On behalf of all those fighting cancer - you might be one of them - please make as generous a gift as you can. To quote a beloved mentor, the late Dr. Paul Farmer,
That's when I feel most alive, when I'm helping people.
I hope you feel the same way, and thank you!
