Hello Friends,

I hope that this letter finds you and your family well.

On August 3rd and 4th, I will be riding in my 16th Pan-Massachusetts Challenge (“PMC”). The route that I’m planning to take is a two day 163- mile bike ride from Wellesley to Provincetown, Mass.

The PMC was founded in 1980 and has raised approximately $972 million for cancer research and treatment since its inception. One hundred percent of all rider- raised funds go directly to the Dana- Farber Cancer Institute (“DFCI”).

In 2014, my sister Eileen passed away after a courageous three- year battle with metastatic lung cancer. In addition, my father succumbed to pancreatic cancer when I was eighteen years old.

Through Eileen’s experience and treatment at the DFCI in Boston, our family had the unique opportunity to witness first- hand the great work that the people at Dana- Farber do on an ongoing basis. We were a supporter of the PMC before Eileen’s treatment, and our first- hand experience at DFCI served to further reinforce our support and commitment to the PMC.

My family and I have made the PMC and DFCI one of our highest charitable priorities.

Thanks to friends and supporters like you, we have raised and/or contributed personally approximately $400,000 to the PMC and the DFCI during the past 15 years.

Thank you for your consideration and support.
