Once you choose hope, anything's possible.
~ Christopher Reeve
Over the last 8 years, with help from family, friends, and community I have raised over $50,000 for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Pan-Mass Challenge. But sadly, even as Dana-Farber makes incredible strides towards curing cancer, and the PMC hits an amazing milestone – 1 billion dollars raised – the work is not done.
The work is not done beause each year we add more names to the list of loved ones lost to cancer. Names that I will carry with me as I train:
Twiggy, Pamela, Kathy, Papa Tom, Perry, Elka, Jake, Lois, Buddy, Paul.
So still we ride. For this, my ninth year of PMC, and in honor of our Bike Shop's 10th Anniversary, I'm giving Steve and I the shared goal to raise $10,000. Every little bit helps.
Can we do it? I honestly don't know. But it's worth the effort because – there is a lot riding on us.
Leave a comment with a name I can carry with me as I train – and include an address so I can send a thank you note!
