Last year the PMC surpassed $1 billion in lifetime donations - now we are starting on the next Billion ($75 million target this year alone). I'm proud to participate in my 15th Pan-Mass Challenge, due to its great support of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and its tireless commitment to developing new cancer treatments and potential cures. Dana-Farber is ranked among the Top 3 Cancer Centers in the World. I will be riding with other family members in memory of my mother-in-law Dolores, who passed away in 2015 after a brave battle with acute myeloid leukemia. We are also riding for our dear friend Kevin Martin, Jr., who was diagnosed last year with Stage 4 prostate cancer and is being treated at Dana-Farber.

Thank you for supporting the PMC as it helps Dana-Farber continue to provide excellent cancer treatment and discover tomorrow's cures through cutting-edge research. A portion of my fundraising this year will support Dr. Cigall Kadoch's Laboratory, which does groundbreaking research in gene regulation, an entirely new are of biology central to both adult and pediatric cancers. It's reassuring to know that 100% of your donation will go directly to Dana-Farber. Please let me know if there's someone you'd like me to dedicate our ride to. Thanks again.
