In early August I and hundreds of others will ride in the Pan Mass Challenge to support Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. I’m training now for this 186-mile, two-day bicycle ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown.

Please sponsor me. Your donations will motivate me to keep training hard before (582 miles so far) and climb each hill during the PMC.

Every dollar raised by me from you, and by all the other riders, goes to support the life saving cancer research and treatment provided by Dana-Farber. Team Kermit, which I’ve joined for this ride, supports pediatric brain and spinal cancer research. Thanks to donations from people like you, Dana-Farber has made and will continue to make life-sustaining advancements in this and other cancer specialties.

I testify to Dana-Farber’s value. I have accompanied my wife, Liz, to treatments and visits there almost every week for three years. I’ve witnessed the compassion and come to understand the expertise and dedication of the Dana-Farber workforce. Thanks to the clinical trial and immunotherapy Liz received at Dana-Farber, she now has ‘no evidence of disease’, which is as good as it gets.

Please celebrate with me. I’ll keep training, and when I fatigue I’ll remember that I’m doing this to help people facing disease and finding cancer answers. In support of my effort, and those people, please donate to sustain the value and momentum of Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund.

Let’s do this! Thank you!

I’ll donate too.
