Welcome to my PMC page! This year will be my 25th Pan Mass Challenge. For some visitors to this page it will be your 25th contribution (yay!); for others it might be your first. All are welcome!

Everyone has causes that they feel particularly strongly about, and I know we are all asked many times in the course of a year to contribute to the great organzations that our friends and family members support. But, as it's my job in this case to convince you to give to MY cause, here are 3 3/4 reasons you should donate to the PMC:

1) The PMC is a great organization, and is the largest source of funding for the Jimmy Fund (which is the largest source of funds for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, a leading center of cancer research and treatment)

2) The ride is 100% efficient - which means that every dollar that is contributed goes straight to the Jimmy Fund. This is achieved through a combination of sponsorships and donations, plus a hefty entrance fee for riders

3) The need doesn't go away. The Dana Farber Cancer Institute provides critical treatment and cutting edge research to continue the fight.

3 1/2) You will place me under a rock-solid obligation to support your favorite cause.

3 3/4) You get leverage. For the last few years, I have been matching all donations dollar for dollar. I know I'm asking for a lot - so I should also give a lot.

Thanks for your support - without you I couldn't do it.
