Dear friends and family, Over the years, I've had the honor of being a part of PMC ride to support the Jimmy Fund. In August, I will once again ride over 160 miles with a goal of raising $6,000 for the Dana Farber Institute and Jimmy Fund. I chose the Pan Mass Challenge because it is undoubtedly the most successful in terms of money raised and the percentage of funds it contributes directly to charity. 100% of all funds raised by PMC riders go directly to the Jimmy Fund. The PMC is among the leanest of fundraising organizations in the nation. This year alone, the PMC’s goal is to raise $36 million for Dana Farber! So I've strapped on my bike helmet and started my training. I have a long road ahead of me to get in shape for riding 160 miles over two days! But it's nothing compared to the work and courage shown by so many who battle cancer. I have many personal stories that will serve as my inspiration, and I thank you in advance for your support.
