Like so many countless others, my family has been deeply impacted by cancer and I have annually supported Dana-Farber, but from the sidelines...making contributions to Pan-Mass Challenge riders, and for years (...and years) saying to myself, maybe one year I will ride the PMC.... Well that year has come, and I am excited and proud that on August 5th and 6th, I will ride my first PMC to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cancer cure. I have always admired the commitment and sacrifice of those that train, ride, organize, and volunteer and I am extremely excited to support the cause by riding 186 miles from Sturbridge to Provincetown and support cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Cancer has touched so many of my family and friends and I am riding as a tribute to them and their battles with the disease both past and present, but my ride is dedicated to my mother Kathleen, who I ride in memory of.

100% of rider-raised revenue goes directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's research, treatment, and care and I have a fund raising goal of $6,000. I gratiously ask for your support in any amount for this incredible cause and I am grateful and appreciative of your generosity in advance.

Best wishes.

Jim
