This is my third consecutive year riding and raising money for this amazing cause.  The PMC raises money for the incredible work that the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute does for patients battling cancer.  The PMC is a two-day, 192 mile bike ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown that raised over $30 million dollars for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute last year. 

This is also my third straight year riding as a member of the P4P team.  By riding for this team, it assures that every dollar you donate will go directly to help children battling cancer and their families.  As a Pediatric Oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute this cause could not be more important to me.  With each passing year at Dana-Farber we see over 300 children begin their heroic battle against this devastating disease.  Most of these children will conquer their disease but too many will lose.  I just can’t imagine giving up this fight until we can cure 100% of our patients. 

Please consider joining me in this fight by making a donation to my 2011 ride.  If you’ve donated before, you already know that every dollar you give will go straight to the cause (the entire cost of the event is covered by corporate sponsors).  The money raised by P4P helps families that are financially overwhelmed, sponsors important research, and funds projects that help our clinics provide better care.  Whether you can donate $50, $100, or even $500, no donation is too big or too small!!  Last year, the AMAZING generosity of 70 friends and family raised over $5000 for this cause.  Please consider donating.  Although nothing can speak as loudly as your generosity, I pledge to train and complete this ride in a way that honors and celebrates your contribution!  Thank you so much for considering
