I'm both honored and humbled to ride the PMC again in 2025!

Since my ride last year, I know more people who struggle through chemo and radiation as they fight their individual battles against this formidable foe. This year is particularly challenging for research and treatment institutions like Dana Farber. The Trump administration has cut more than ??$1.81 billion in National Institutes of Health grants to date. The cuts impact research institutes like Dana-Farber, which received $164 million in NIH grants in 2024.

Yet some giant steps have been made and continue to be made every day because of the generosity of people like you. No clinical trials have been cut short, despite these cuts, because of private philanthropy. That means that your donation this year - more than in any year to date - is more important and impactful than ever.

I feel honored to have ridden PMC this year and to support the incredible work that the DFCI does every day. My ride on August 2nd was but a baby step toward a cure yet with your support we can - and will - make a difference!

Thank you in advance for anything you can contribute to fuel my ride and support the Dana Farber Cancer Center!

With gratitude,

Susie
