PMC and Team Nathanisms are still committed to doing all we can to raise money to fight the scourge of cancer, in our particular case, pediatric brain cancers. Through your generous donations and continual support, we have been able to fund vital basic research, leading to a clinical trial that Nathan (Evan's son) participated in. Your contributions make such a difference.

Please support Team Nathanisms.

I am honored and delighted to participate and support PMC again - This is my 10th year riding PMC and I'm asking for your support once again. I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure. This years goal is $75 million.

I am riding with my friend Evan, to support him and his wife, but most importantly his son, Nathan. You may recall Nathan’s story - after a couple of gruelling rounds of ancient and toxic chemotherapies, Nathan enrolled in the TAK580 trial (this is the trial that we’ve worked so hard for years to fund - it had finally moved into phase I) which was literally supported by the donations this team was able to raise from generous supporters like you.

Amazingly, Nathan became the first child in the world to enroll. Two months later, we received stunning news: for the first time in Nathan’s battle, his brain tumor had shrunk. Nathan could ski again! He could throw a ball! He could pummel his brothers! This feels like a miracle, but it’s not: the trial only exists because of the generous support of people like you. And it still needs our support: for Nathan, for our six-year old friend Alison, who has also recently joined the trial, and for all of the other kids who will be saved by TAK580. Nathan has a long road ahead, but he’s made tremendous progress in recent months, thanks to this drug. I see him riding his bike down the street now, and I still have a hard time believing it’s real. Together we helped make this possible!
