2024 update:
Last year's ride was incredible, with your help we raised over $9,000!! Excited to be back again with Team FLAMES for my 3rd PMC Ride! This year I've directed my funding to be split between Leukemia/Lymphoma as well as adult and pediatric Kidney research in honor of my nephew Colton and my cousin Koji. Your support both on and off the bike means so much and I can't wait to share how amazing PMC weekend will be.
Much love, Sarah
2023:
Last year I rode in my first PMC and with your help I raised over $7,000 for Team FLAMES who, as a group of incredible humans, raised over $1.1 MILLION for Dana Farber and the Jimmy Fund!
When I signed up last year I knew it was going to be a challenge both from a fundraising aspect and by riding nearly 200 miles in early August but your support both on and off the bike kept me going and I'm excited to be back for year 2 riding with Team FLAMES again.
Dana Farber and the Jimmy Fund have always been close to my heart, with my mom working there as an infusion nurse for over 30 years, but especially in the more recent years and months when cancer had a more direct impact on my family.
This year I will be riding in memory of our cousin Koji, and in honor of my nephew Colton.
I'm a proud supporter of the PMC and team FLAMES because they are leading a charge to beat cancer. 100% of rider-raised dollars (yes, 100%) will go directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure, with 100% of FLAMES team efforts going to the Adult Leukemia and Lymphoma research departments within DFCI.
I've dusted the bike off and have been out on a few training rides but I need your help! You can be part of our team in supporting our mission by considering a donation (small or large!) to one day live in a world without cancer. We have all been touched by cancer in some way and together, we CAN make a difference.
Any amount is greatly appreciated and I am very grateful for your support in my commitment to ride 186 miles with Team FLAMES for a second time this August.
Endless thanks in advance,
Sarah
