Dear Family, Friends, Colleagues,

I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt request for your support.

Over the past several years cycling has become a big part of my life, as commitment to health and as means to connect socially and explore the world.

This year, I RIDE WITH EVEN MORE PURPOSE IN SUPPORT OF THE FIGHT TO BEAT CANCER!

I've made a personal goal to cycle 192 miles over 2 days in the 2024 Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) RIDE and raise $8,000.00 for the Jimmy Fund and The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I hope you will help me achieve this significant goal.

This ride will be a physical challenge; the most I have ever ridden in 2 days is 100 miles. But having your support will drive me to the finish line.

I have committed myself to participate in this important event not only as a personal challenge, but more importantly with a deep sense of purpose. My reasons for riding are deeply rooted in my personal experiences and a fervent desire to make a positive impact in the fight against cancer.

REASONS I RIDE:

TO HONOR the resilience and strength of my family, friends, colleagues that have bravely battled cancer, and with incredible strength, determination, love, and the power of science and medicine, have OVERCOME! Their courage in the face of adversity has inspired me to take action and do my part to support them and countless others affected by this disease.

IN RECOGNITION OF of all those that have sacrificed much to provide care. comfort and support of loved ones suffering from cancer; YOU ARE TRUE HEROES.

IN MEMORY of those among my family, friends and colleagues that have succombed to this horrible disease.

TO SUPPORT the incredible work of scientists and researchers who dedicate their lives to eradicating cancer.

By raising funds for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, I hope to contribute to advancements in cancer research and patient care, ultimately bringing us closer to a world without cancer. Last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.

Your support would mean the world to me and to all those whose lives have been touched by cancer. No matter what the amount, your contribution will make a tangible difference in our collective fight against this devastating disease.

Thank you for considering my request, and thank you for your unwavering support in the fight against cancer.

With Love,

Sami
