Once you choose hope, anything's possible.
~ Christopher Reeve
Over the last 9 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.
For this year, my 4th Unpaved and 10th PMC, my goal is to raise $5,000. For the first time I’m planning on tackling “The Eagle” a route that is 50 miles and 5,000 feet of climbing.
With essential funding for cancer research being cut, the PMC’s support of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is more critical than ever.
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!
