Dear Friends, I hope this finds you all healthy and well. I first wanted to thank you all so much for your generous support in the past. Doing the PMC has been a summer tradition and this year I will be riding in my 14th Pan Mass Challenge. Attached is a picture at the finish line with my daughters Katherine and Stephanie from a few years ago-I'm am thrilled that Stephanie and her boyfriend Stu will be joining us this year on the ride. I'm very much looking forward to joining the Crush11Tour team and enjoying training and riding in the event on August 3rd as well as the comraderie and support from the wonderful volunteers, the other riders, and the folks who line the route to encourage everyone onward to the finish line. All of this make this a really important part of my Summer on Cape cod and a very special event. For me this event provides a way to remember and honor lost friends and family. I also ride for cancer survivors but especially for my wife Cori and brother and sister. I'm again dedicating my ride along with the entire 100 plus people on the Crush11Tour team to Davey Hovey, the son of a close firend who lost his battle to Brain Cancer (Stage IV Glioblastoma). All of the money our team raises goes directly to Dr David Reardon who treated Davey Hovey-last year we raised over $1.4 million which enabled him to fund an increased research effort and position his team and work for larger grant opportunities to support his work. We have been supporting his research for a number of years now and have effectively been his Angel Investors helping him build his research team and capabilities. We are thrilled that this hard work enabled his to team to secure a P01 Grant from the National Cancer Institute to further expand their work-with all the changes in funding medical researach the role of private donors has become even more important. If this fits within your philathropic priorities I'd be some appreciative of any support you might provide for this important work on brain cancer research.
