Dear Family and Friends,

I hope that you are enjoying this winter!

For the 6th time, I will be riding in the annual Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) to raise funds for cancer research and treatment. The ride is scheduled for the first weekend in August.

The PMC continues to be the most successful athletic fundraiser in the world. In 2024, the PMC community raised $75 million and crossed the $1 billion fundraising milestone.

Every year, the PMC fuels more than miles – it fuels hope, progress, and impact. And at the center of it all? Riders and volunteers. Every PMC participant has a story, one that can inspire someone to ride, donate, or push harder in the fight against cancer. Your donations give us this gift of riding though. Without these generous donations, there would be no PMC, no new cures. Our team is on pace to meet our goal, and I am on pace too. With all my heart, my warmest thanks.

Our Team: “The FLAMES” are a proud supporter of the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC). We continue to lead the charge to beat cancer. EVERY year 100% of rider-raised revenue goes directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment!

We are proud that more than 145 Dana-Farber affiliated doctors are honored as ‘Top Doctors’ by Boston magazine,” said Benjamin L. Ebert, MD, PhD, President and CEO of Dana-Farber. “Their commitment to compassionate care sets a standard of excellence, making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients every day. This recognition is a testament to their expertise and dedication to our mission to advance the understanding, treatment, and prevention of cancer.”

Please be as generous as you can in supporting my ride this year. The fight against cancer is not over by a long shot. We cannot continue to make progress alone. It takes each of us coming together in community to facilitate meaningful changes and improvements in cancer research and care. Thanks in advance for contributing to our common cause. Any amount that you can afford is very much appreciated! As our PMC leaders consistently remind us, with our combined efforts we get “closer by the mile".

Thank you!

Pete Tracy
