Thank you for taking a moment to read this. It's hard to believe that this year marks my twentieth(!) Pan-Mass Challenge, raising critical funds for ground-breaking cancer research and treatments at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. My goal this year is $11,000. It’s a high mark but I know that it is attainable. If you’ve already contributed, THANK YOU!! If you haven’t yet, please join me in this effort by donating: https://profile.pmc.org/LD0115.

Last year, the PMC reached *one billion* dollars given to Dana-Farber since its inception, an incredible achievement. This year our work is even more critical; with the current state of government funding sources, the Pan-Mass Challenge is as important as ever in ensuring that life-saving research continues, and new treatments are discovered. You are the key to making that happen! You can learn more about DFCI and how your donation helps fight cancer in the PMC Impact Newsletter. As always, 100% of your contribution will go to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund to help make cancer history.

This will be the final year that the PMC begins in Sturbridge before the Saturday start moves to Worcester in 2026 so this will be one to remember. That also means this will be the last year for my current Friday route into Sturbridge and I can tell you that there are several sections of that route that I am *not* going to miss!  My training started in December and I'm already getting energized for PMC weekend, even though it won't come until August. So far this year I’ve logged hundreds of miles more than in the past few years – I’m going to be ready but there are more miles ahead and a lot of dollars still to raise so please click below to help me reach that fundraising goal. Thank you!!

PMC donations are tax deductible and 100% will go to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The PMC's tax ID / EIN is 04-2746912. Here’s another reason to support my PMC fundraising: With a donation of $50 or more, you can save on any new or existing Massachusetts MAPFRE Insurance auto policy. Once you donate, just forward your receipt to your insurance provider who can take it from there.
