This August I will tackle my third Pan-Mass Challenge, a 162-mile ride from Wellesley to Provincetown. The event sends every rider-raised dollar directly to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. No handling fees, no middlemen, just efficient support for people fighting cancer.

I set a bold fundraising goal because I believe private initiative can move life-saving research. If you share that conviction, I hope you will invest in this effort. Any amount you give fuels promising treatments and lends practical help to families facing the hardest battle of their lives.

Thank you for standing with me, cheering me on, and showing what personal responsibility and neighbor-to-neighbor generosity can achieve. I look forward to crossing the finish line knowing we made a real difference together.

With gratitude,

Sami
