Dear Friends,
On August 3rd and 4th, I will once again be riding in the Pan Mass Challenge. PMC is a bicycle ride to raise money for adult and pediatric cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund. I will be riding over 200 miles during the two days in August for this great cause. The PMC is the largest single fundraising event in the country and has raised more money for charity than any other single event in the country, including over $72 million in 2023 alone! This success is the result of a lot of people riding for, and caring about, a cure. And because every penny matters, 100% of your donation goes to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This will be my fourth year riding in the PMC. If you're interested in knowing more, feel free to reach out to me directly.
This year I will be joined by some good friends in West Hartford and we will all be part of the amazing TeamBrentWheels. Our West Hartford team will be riding in memory of Kerri Massaro. Kerri was our teammate Matt Massaro's wife and was an amazing mother, friend, mentor, teacher and coach in the West Hartford School District. Kerrie fought breast cancer valiantly for many years and was so well supported by her family, friends, co-workers and her medical team, including those at Dana Farber.
I will also be riding in memory of a good friend and former colleague Gary Gowdy who passed away last year after years of surviving with pancreatic cancer. Gary was also a patient at Dana Farber and was an inspiration to all of us for his great spirit and indefatigible optimism notwithstanding his cancer diagnosis.
Thanks to you all who have contributed previously and thanks to all who have agreed to contribute again this year. This year I have made a commitment to ride and raise a minimum of $6,000. Any donation that you can give to help would be greatly appreciated. The easiest way to contribute is to go online by clicking this link. Or, if you prefer the old-school method, you can send a check made payable to PMC to my attention and I will send your check along. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at thomas.oshea@ubs.com or thomasjamesoshea@gmail.com or call me at 860-817-8405. Also, for those who have a matching program at work, please take advantage of the program and double your contribution!
Unfortunately, most all of us have been impacted by cancer in some shape or form. Many of us have lost close friends, colleagues or family members, while others have endured or witnessed those who have been impacted by the physical and emotional strains of battling cancer. Please know that any contribution is most appreciated. But if you are unable to donate at this time, I completely understand. I look forward to sharing the results of my ride and the PMC with you in the near future.
Thanks!
Tom
