Dear family and friends,

On Sunday, August 3, I'll join thousands of cyclists riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge to raise funds for research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I hope you will consider supporting me.

All contributions to my ride will be directed to the Team Beans Infant Brain Tumor Fund, named for Francesca Kaczynski, nicknamed Beans, an infant who was treated at Dana-Farber and died in 2020 at age nine months. Her parents have made it their mission to improve outcomes for other children. Since the fund's establishment, several several groundbreaking clinical trials have been funded with PMC proceeds.

This year, PMC funds have become even more critical because of recent cuts in NIH funding.

I’m so grateful for the support you have offered in past years and I welcome your contributions this year. It's an incredibly uplifting event and an inspiring example of what people can accomplish by coming together for a common cause.

Thank you for considering a donation!

Nancy
