My dear friends & family,

When Denise texted me and Liz last month to say that her recent scans were stable, I once again breathed a sigh of relief and immediately thought that this process really does work.Your donations have made a difference...and Denise is living proof. In October, it will have been 6 years that Denise was first diagnosed. I have two very close friends that passed from this horrible cancer in 2011 and 2019. They did not have as many years as Denise has had and I know it is because of you, me and the many dedicated bikers and supporters of the Pan Mass Challenge. Everyday I thank God for my life and for blessing me with a strong, healthy body... one that allows me to make a difference in Denise's life... and I also thank you for wanting to help.

Team Forever Young (Liz & I) will once again ride in honor of Denise Young, our dear childhood friend who 4 years ago was diagnosed with two types of cancer, a liposarcoma tumor which has since been removed along with her kidney, spleen, pancreas, small intestine and colon and a neuroendocrine tumor which metastasized to her liver and heart. Denise continues to receive treatment at Dana Faber for the neuroendocrine tumor.

A heartfelt thank you for your past support and I ask you once again to consider donating so that we can continue to support the research needed to combat this horrific disease. All donations will be allocated to Dr. Chen's Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Fund.

My best to you and your family,

Janice
