I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, 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.

Each summer, thousands of riders, volunteers, and supporters gather for a bike-a-thon across Massachusetts with a common mission: raise funds to fight cancer in support of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This is the first year that I will be riding in the PMC which takes place from August 2nd and 3rd riding 186 miles (Logistics – Sturbridge to Provincetown Inn Route | Pan-Mass Challenge (pmc.org)). I will be riding alongside many but specifically five St. Lawrence University friends. I am excited for PMC 2025 not only for the joining and riding with Team Lick Cancer, but additionally riding across Massachusetts with friends that are loving, committed, and dedicated to the cause. As I embark upon the training and preparation, I have a growing appreciation and gratitude for all the riders and supporters.

I appreciate you and thank you for your commitment and interest.

During the past 40 years, the PMC has contributed over $1 billion since 1980 and $75 million in 2024 alone to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Amazingly it is the first and only charitable bike ride to break the billion-dollar mark! I have made a personal commitment to ride PMC 2025 and to raise $6,000. I hope you can help me achieve this goal.

When you participate in the PMC as a donor, a volunteer, or a rider you are part of the greater good. It is, and will continue to be, a great cause with 100% of the funds go directly to the charity and it is tax deductible.

I am riding for many, but specifically thinking of the following:

• Family Friend, Educator, Coach John Oliver Wallace
• Family Friend Anne Wallace, Tom Daniel
• Cousin Annie Beck
• Former Co-Worker Chad O'Neill
• Former CEO Arne Sorenson
• St. Lawrence University friends: Kathy Zaccaro Schmidt, Hollis Wilson, Elizabeth Ormiston

Please visit my profile page and the following are links to donate to my ride:

My PMC ID is: MS0914

PMC donations are (again) tax deductible and 100% will go to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The PMC's tax ID / EIN is 04-2746912.

The Pan-Mass Challenge only uses your personal information to thank you and will not share it with any other organizations.

THANK YOU!!!
