Dear Family & Friends,
We hope this letter finds you all well. We are writing to ask for your support as we will be riding in the Pan Mass Challenge in memory of my dad and Colleen's B-Dad William Billy Mack McDonnell who passed away of Leukemia in 2002 and my Mother-in-Law and Colleen's Mimi Corinne Armstrong who passed in 2010. They battled their diseases with incredible courage and never lost hope due to all of the medical breakthroughs happening based upon the great work of the PMC. We are also riding for Curly, Mary, Sean, Myles, Michael James, Maureen, Pat, Helen, John, Dermot, Barry and so many more that passed too soon and for anybody fighting cancer today.
Colleen and I will join more than 5,000 other cyclists in the 44th Pan-Massachusetts Challenge, a bike-a-thon that raises money for cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. This spectacular event raised more than $72 million last year by donating 100% of all rider-raised funds to the DFCI. The PMC will pass over $1 Billion raised in 2024!
The PMC holds the promise of helping eradicate this disease, which affects millions of people like Billy and Mimi and people close to your heart.
To take part in this event we need to raise a minimum team total of $4,000 and are asking for your help in achieving this goal. Donations are tax deductible. The donation link is below:

If you prefer to write a check, please make it out to the Pan Mass Challenge or Dana Farber Cancer Institute and mail them to us at 73 Smoke Hill Ridge, Marshfield, MA 02050.
If your employer has a matching gift program, you can get the form from HR, and follow the process for matches.
We will be thinking of everyone we know who has been affected by cancer, as well as all of you, who make this the top cancer research fundraising event in the country when we cross the finish line on August 4th, 2024.
Sincerely,
Sean & Colleen
