Dear friends and family,

This summer I've committed to raising $6,000.00 for cancer research by riding in the 2024 Pan-Mass Challenge. On the first weekend in August, I will join thousands of cyclists in the PMC, an annual bike-a-thon that raises money for research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) in Boston.

I hope I can count on your support.

The PMC raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country - $972 million since 1980 and a record $72 million in 2023 alone! In 2024, the PMC is positioned to cross a monumental $1 billion in cumulative fundraising for Dana-Farber. This success is the result of a lot of people like you supporting PMC riders and caring about a cure. And because every dollar matters, 100 percent of your donation goes to Dana-Farber.

I first joined this ride with my Dad in 1981 and was proud to raise $100 for Dana-Farber's Jimmy Fund. In the years since, I have ridden the 186 mile route from Sturbridge, Mass. to Provincetown 28 times and raised over $100,000 for Dana-Farber.

Your generosity will make a real difference for the many people whose lives are impacted by cancer. Please consider making a donation today. Thank you very much for your support.

Yours truly,

Paul Bennett
