This August, I'll be back on the bike for my favorite summer tradition - the Pan Mass Challenge.

This year's ride will mark my 11th year participating in this special event. With your continued support over the last decade, I’ve been able to raise nearly $100,000 (and counting) for Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Since 2014, Team Flatley Foundation has cumulatively raised a staggerring $2.6 million. As always, 100% of each dollar raised went directly to DFCI to fund critical cancer research and treatment. Countless patients have benefitted from your generosity. I am so grateful to all of you for making this possible - I know my aunt Nancy would be so proud.

The PMC's mission and impact are what get me back in the saddle year after year: The PMC has raised $900 million for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute since its launch in 1980. Today, the PMC is the single largest contributor to Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund and is responsible for more than 60 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue.

The fight against cancer continues and the PMC has a goal of $70 million this year. If you would like to support the Pan Mass Challenge, donations are graciously accepted through September 30, 2023. Donations may be made online at my PMC profile page: https://profile.pmc.org/MC0463 or via check made payable to the PMC and mailed to me at 126 Salem Street #7 Boston, MA 02113. Thank you in advance for your support.

Gratefully,

Mary Kate Cruise
