I’ve begun training for my 19th Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) to benefit the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The PMC is an 84-mile bike ride from Babson College in Wellesley to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Bourne to raise money for Dana-Farber in the fight against cancer. My goal this year is to raise $20,000, and I would appreciate your support.

Cancer affects us all, and every year we have a few more friends impacted directly. Dana-Farber, one of the leading cancer research and treatment centers in the United States, is one of the best places to fight it. My wife, Preeti Mehta, was treated at Dana-Farber a few years ago, so I can personally vouch for the quality of its professionals and the care they provide. She is now fortunate to be free of any evidence of her cancer, but she endured a year of treatment (radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy). Please help me support the institution that has been so instrumental to Preeti and me. I know there are other commendable organizations seeking your assistance, so please know that I genuinely appreciate your support and that Dana-Farber is a worthy organization.

While I will be riding in honor of Preeti, I will also be riding in memory of my good friends Raj Marphatia and Nalini Ambady, my neighbor David Passer, my father William G. Sullivan, and of my mother-in-law, Hamshad Mehta, all of whom died after battles with cancer. The PMC is also a mechanism for me to honor Jalal Alamgir, my friend and former business partner who died tragically in 2011. Jalal rode the PMC in honor of his mother who had been treated at Dana-Farber.

The PMC is an extremely efficient mechanism to fund Dana-Farber. Rider registration fees and corporate donations fund the entire cost of the event. As a result, 100% of your donations benefit Dana-Farber directly. Support my PMC ride here.
