Well, the summer heat is upon us, and that means the Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) is just around the corner.
The thing is, like everyone else, Coronavirus has hit the Pan-Mass Challenge hard. There won't be the epic 192 mile ride with thousands of riders and countless volunteers.
There won't be the cheering crowds, people handing out water, shouting “Thanks for riding!”; streets lined with signs, such as the poster-sized picture of a small boy, grinning ear-to-ear, captioned, “Thanks to you I'm 12 years old now!”
Even in the face of this pandemic, CANCER HASN’T STOPPED!
So, 17 PMCs and over 3,000 miles later, I am still training, and I will be riding my own PMC in honor of all those close to me who are fighting, or have lost the battle to, CANCER.
The PMC is Dana Farber Cancer Institute's single largest contributor. In 2019, the PMC donated a record-breaking $63 million to Dana-Farber, bringing the PMC's 40-year fundraising total to $717 million for critical and life-saving advances in cancer research and patient care.
100% of every rider-raised dollar funds cancer research at Dana Farber…life-saving research!
So , if you can, and only if you can, I would really love your support for all the cancer victims, patients and survivors, young and old…family, friends, colleagues…and for myself and my belief that with determination and funding all cancers WILL BE defeated.
I ride for each of YOU and your families and friends!
Remember to:
Think Generously
Act Immediately
Ask About Corporate Matching Contributions
Tell Others
Thank you for your continued support and desire to make a difference!
Warmest personal regards,
Tom
