Over the weekend of August 3rd, I will be participating in my 12th Pan Mass Challenge. This year, the PMC just surpassed the one BILLION dollar in total fundraising for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and in the process has become the single largest athletic fundraiser anywhere in the country. Over the last four decades, this event has saved countless lives and supported the lives of and families of tens of thousands of individuals battling cancer.

This year we will again ride in celebration of our friend, and founding member of Team Martignetti, Nick Bourke. We will also be riding in memory of my Aunt Nancy, grandmother Fran, Katy Guerin, Dane Kasschau, Rob D’addario, Marcos Flegmann, Peter Wormser, my Uncle Doug and Joe Guerin. I also will continue to ride in honor of my parents, my Aunt Lora, Uncle Craig, Emily Whittemore and Caroline Franckling - all who have or are currently bravely battling.

The work the DFCI does is more important than ever. Year in and year out they are at the forefront of discovering new treatments and innovating new procedures for the most difficult diagnoses. I hope you can join me in supporting this cause and helping me to raise the much needed resources to keep their work going. Thank you so much for your continued support and, hopefully, I'll be able to get some of you to join me next year for what's sure to be an incredible ride!

Kindest Regards,
Matt
