Pan Mass Challenge 2019

The Pan Mass Challenge is one of the largest and oldest charity rides in the US. Held the first weekend in August since 1980, the PMC has raised over $660 Million for research programs and patient treatment at the Dana Farber Cancer Center. There are treatments and research programs which literally would not exist but for the generosity that supporters of the PMC have shown over the years.

Last year more than 6,000 riders raised $56 Million, and every rider-raised dollar goes directly to research and treatment programs detailed here: https://www.pmc.org/what-we-do

I rode with a friend of mine in 2017, and together we raised just under $20,000. Other commitments kept me from riding last year, but will be joining the ride again this August on a two-day, 160 mile route from Wellesley to Provincetown, and am personally aiming for $10,000.

I'd like to invite you to ride along with us again this year. If you would like to donate to the effort, my fundraising page for your tax-deductible contribution in any amount is here: http://profile.pmc.org/JB0722

If you are in southeastern MA or the Cape, we'll be looking for you along the road... followed by the world's craziest ferry ride..
