Marianne's 2025 PMC

Dear Family and Friends,

On Saturday, August 02, 2025, I successfully cycled the 86-mile supported route from Wellesley to Bourne on Team Sarcoma Cycling Brigade. I am grateful to report that I reached Top 10% status, by raising over $17,000 to honor the life and memory of our son Felipe and our friend Lilly. Please view my profile gallery to see photos and ride trainings. Donations are still accepted through October 01 to support Dr. Demetri’s Sarcoma Research Fund and Dr. Jänne's Mesothelioma Research Fund.

On October 20, 2019, our beloved Felipe’s passing at 35 years young shattered our lives. Despite having undergone an above the knee amputation, infusion chemotherapy and radiation, Felipe lost his 5-year battle to biphasic synovial sarcoma (a rare soft tissue cancer). Sarcomas, of many types, are very aggressive and currently almost impossible to successfully treat. Every year that passes, I am determined to ride, while Felipe's dad Jose volunteers at Bourne’s Mass Maritime finish line with others on our team whose lives have been impacted by the loss of a family member or friend to Sarcoma.

Since my first PMC ride in 2021, I have raised $41,621 in cumulative funding! Please help us support sarcoma and mesothelioma research, awareness, early detection, patient care, and innovative treatments for longevity of life for all those afflicted by these terrible diseases!

The Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) is an annual bike-a-thon that raises more money for cancer research and patient care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute than any other single philanthropic fundraising event in the country. In 2024, the Pan-Mass Challenge crossed a monumental $1 billion in cumulative fundraising for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This success is the result of thousands of people riding each year with the goal of “getting closer by the mile” to curing cancer. And because every penny matters, 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar goes to Dana-Farber. With the recent decrease in government funding for cancer research and patient care programs, the need for increased philanthropy could not be greater!
