Just signed up for year 13!!. It was great to ride with my friends again in 2023. We raised over $100,000 as a team, over $500,000 since we began and over $14,000 personally and my total since we started is $100,000 My goal was always to do this until I turned 65 and then 1 year at a time. Well, I turned SIXTY EIGHT in December!! I do this to honor my relatives who have had cancer and to be the conduit for you to do the same. Every year we have family members who are diagnosed with cancer while the news is filled with celebrities who have lost their lives or are being treated. Cancer doesn't have any economic boundaries from royalty, to Red Sox royalty and friends who are receiving treatment.
While moral support is important, without the critical financial support to find cures and treatments, it is all for nought. Thoughts, Prayers and MONEY are the ingredients needed.
Remember, EVERY dollar we raise goes DIRECTLY to Dana Farber. This is our opportunity to show our support for our friends and family who have been touched by cancer.
Doug, Bob, Alan, Scott, our significant others and support group and I look forward to spending another meaningful weekend together in 2023 when join thousands of riders, each with a story. But our committment is to DFCI and all of the doctors, nurses, administrators and patients who are in need of our help. This year with your help, PMC will have raised over 1 Billion Dollars for DFCI and every one gets us closer to more cures.
My mother passed from cancer in 2001 at 65. I outlived her age but not her smile, her spirit. . That really brought this home for me. Year after year, so many of you have contributed to my ride and efforts.
Thank you for being my tailwind!!
Jeff
