Hi Everyone,

I'm reaching out to let you know I will be participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge this year. I have committed to riding 187 miles and to raising $5,500 for Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The PMC is leading the charge to beat cancer. 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.

Like so many others, I have lost a lot of people I love to cancer. This year I will be riding in memory of, my sweet nephew, Fred Swymer, my good friend Dave Kolman, my uncle, Con Madigan and my favorite aunt, Margo Wheeler.

I will also be riding in honor my step-mother, Joanne Marsh - a cancer survivor. Joanne is one of the toughest women I have ever met. I admire her strength and thank her for showing us not every battle with cancer is lost.

Please know, I am completely out of my comfort zone! It is not in my nature to ask for help, but I'm so excited to be a part of something so big. I'm so happy to be riding with the Riverside Rockets this year and I hope you will consdier sponsoring me in this amazing cause.

Thank you in advance for your conideration and for making every mile a little more special.

My Very Best,

Maureen
