To all of our family and friends who have supported our Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) effort over the years or who might join us this year, “Thank you very much!” The ride would be nothing without you, and as I gear up for my umpteenth ride this weekend I hope you will consider supporting us once again. (Fund raising closes at the end of September, but please don’t wait!)
For your convenience, you can make a secure credit card donation to my ride on-line by following this link:
http://www.pmc.org/egifts/default.asp?
As in the past every penny donated goes directly to Dana Farber. In fact, the PMC is Dana Farber’s single largest source of unrestricted funds, giving their doctors and researchers the flexibility to develop drugs like the one Vicky takes twice a day to keep her Leukemia at bay.
If you would prefer to donate to our team, the Drafters' team account can be found here: http://www.pmc.org/profile/TD0101/ And of course, if you have donated, thank you for keeping our ride going!
Cancer has touched or will touch most of us at one time or another, and Vicky and I can attest to the expertise, effectiveness, and empathy that makes Dana Farber one of the world’s leading cancer centers. Because of the work at Dana Farber and the handful of institutions like it around the world, we have a very different outlook before us and are looking forward to many years of riding, working, and playing with our family.
Whether or not PMC support is in the cards for you this year, please forward this note to anyone who you think would identify with our cause and be able to help.
With best wishes and heartfelt thanks,
Tucker
You can support our efforts by donating to my ride online at: http://www.pmc.org/egifts/default.asp? just enter Tucker Levy or TL0051 and click Find a Rider (The PMC will send all on-line gifts a tax acknowledgment by email from panmass@pmc.org)
P.S. Another GREAT way to help is by registering with the National Marrow Donor Program at https://bethematch.org as a potential marrow donor. Registering and donating are both virtually painless and the registry is in dire need of new donors to save the lives of patients in need of transplants who do not have a tissue-type match within their family and for whom medicines don't work. In addition to the link above, the NMDP can be reached at: 1-(800) MARROW2 (1-800-627-7692). Please register.
