Dear Friends and Family,

This coming Saturday, August 3rd and Sunday, August 4th will mark my 13th Pan-Mass Challenge. I will be joined by over 6,000 riders to raise research and treatment funds for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston with the hope that someday we will find a way to eradicate cancer. This year we will be riding 162 miles over two days from Wellesley to Provincetown with my wife, Jodi, and my our youngest son, Tommy. We ride in honor of my mother-in-law, Judy Walker, who died 13 years ago from Sarcoma. While I know that there are so many causes that warrant our charitable support, I hope that you will consider donating to this wonderful cause. Not only does 100% of your donation go to Dana-Farber, but Jodi and I will be matching any donation that you make so that your donation will count double.

If you are able and interested, please follow the below link to make a contribution in whatever amount you choose to support us on this ride to cure Sarcoma.

If clicking on the link doesn?t immediately bring you to my page, please cut and paste the link into your browser.If you prefer to send a check, please make it payable to PMC and forward it to me at 72 Hillside Terrace, Belmont, MA 02478. Donations may be made after the ride as well.

Also, while we ride for Sarcoma, we know that so many of you have been touched by cancers of all types. It seems that way too many of our friends and family have been impacted by many types of cancer this year, so if you'd like to donate to Dana-Farber's General Fund for cancer research and treatment rather than for Sarcoma specifically, please just let me know and I'll make sure that your donation is for the General Fund.

On behalf of my mother-in-law, my family, and all present and future Dana Farber Sarcoma patients and their families, my sincerest and deepest thank you for any contribution that you are able to make.

All the best,

Jeff
