Dear Friends,
First, thank you for your generous support over the past 5 years and particularly for last year which was so difficult for everyone. On August 9th I will be riding 100 miles to raise funds for Multiple Myeloma research as part of the Pan Mass Challenge. Over 5,000 participants will be riding various routes with a goal of raising $52 million for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. My team, the Patriot's Peddlars will again earmark our fund raising to Dr. Ken Anderson's efforts to find a cure for Multiple Myeloma. See Doctor Anderson talk about MM and the PMC at https://vimeo.com/412419163. Ken is considered one of the foremost experts on MM in the world and his lab has been critical to the development of most of the treatments developed over the past 20 years. He is also Susan's oncologist. When Susan was diagnosed in 2011 life expectancy was only 3-5 years and there were only a hand full of effective treatments. Today, thanks to the efforts of researchers and donors there are over a dozen treatments and life expectancy has more than tripled, yet there is still no cure.
My ask is that you help fund the last miles to finding a cure. The finish line is in sight. Any donation, large or small, is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Joe
