Dear Friends and Family,
This August will be my 5th year riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge cancer fundraiser. This past year, my team raised $1,200,00.00 and the PMC achieved raising ONE BILLION DOLLARS since the event began in 1980!
The Pan-Mass Challenge raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country. 100% of all money raised funds cancer research and provides Dana-Farber's doctors and researchers with the necessary resources to discover cures for all cancers.
Your donation is especially appreciated and meaningful this year because of possible government cutbacks to cancer research by the National Institute of Health.
Every year I wear ribbons on my cycling jersey with the names of people who have had cancer. Please let me know if there is someone you would like me to ride for and I will make and wear a ribbon with their name. Whether it's you, family or friends, sadly, we all know someone who has battled cancer or is fighting now. Dana Farber is making significant strides in treating and curing this terrible disease and sharing their ground breaking treatments with hospitals and cancer centers worldwide.
I am asking you to please consider making a donation to this important fundraiser so we can make a real impact on the fight against cancer!
Thank you very much for your support.
Yvonne
