PMC 13.......Three Days, Three Hundred Miles

For my 13th Pan-Mass Challenge I am going to ride from one end of the state to the other.  Over the August 5-7 weekend, the truly ‘Pan-Massachusetts’ ride will begin in West Stockbridge (a mere 8 miles from the Mass-NY border) and end in Provincetown at the tip of Cape Cod.  This 300 mile excursion will raise money for The Jimmy Fund, the fund raising arm of the Dana-Farber Cancer Center.  I am dedicating my ride this year to my aunt, Beverly Bartolo, who passed away in early May after a brief battle with lung cancer.

 

The mission of the PMC-to raise money for life-saving cancer research and treatment-is as important as ever.  Since 1980 the event has raised over $300 million and, due to the generosity of corporate vendors and others who underwrite the expenses of feeding, sheltering and caring for the 5,000 riders and 2,000 volunteers, 100% of the funds raised go directly to The Jimmy Fund. 

 

Though my fundraising totals were down last year, with your help I did manage to reach and exceed the $250,000 mark in total fundraising for the PMC.  This year I hope that my fundraising efforts get back to historic levels and that I can once again hit the $25,000 mark. 

 

As always I hope the combination of helping a great cause and the fact you are making me pay to ride 200 miles regardless of weather conditions, road hazards and various aches and pains will inspire you to make large 100% tax-deductible donations to show your encouragement of my efforts. And remember, I will pledge $0.50 for every dollar you pledge over your contribution level of last year.  If you are a new donor, I will match your pledge dollar for dollar above a $100 minimum.

 

I’m not making any predictions about what kind of shape I will be in by August…other than to say that I will somehow manage to ride all three days and will be thinking of Bev, the other names on my ever growing list of cancer victims and survivors and all of you and your support and good wishes.

 

THANK YOU!
