This will be my 3rd year riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge. I ride in honor of the seven people in Cambridge Cohousing who are living with cancer, and in memory of Bill Miller, who died of cancer this past year. Last year, Anne and her husband came out to send me off on the ride (at 6 a.m.!) and I understood, again, just how important this event is to all of us - to our friends and family members who are living with cancer, and to all of us who may someday need the research being done at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.  The Dana-Farber is one of the leading global cancer treatment centers, and the research done here benefits cancer patients around the world. As an ovarian cancer survivor treated at the DFCI, Anne is one of my friends who is living proof of the value of this work. Riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge is my small way of saying thank you.

If you’d like to honor your friends or family members who are living with cancer, whether treated at the DFCI or elsewhere, you can make a donation and check the “Is this donation a tribute?” box on the bottom of the donor info screen. Another area will open up, asking for a name and address where you would like the Pan-Mass Challenge to send a letter about your gift.

Although the economy seems to be picking up a bit in 2010, we're not out of the water yet, and that makes fund-raising challenging - but even more important. Please give what you can, and know that 100% of your donation will go to the Jimmy Fund, the non-profit arm of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The PMC event costs are covered by registration fees and corporate sponsors, and the Jimmy Fund is itself an extremely efficient non-profit organization, consistently receiving top marks by charity rating services.

This year, all of the founding principals of my business, Red Bridge Strategy, are riding in the PMC.  You can see my partners' stories in their profiles, listed at left.    

Thank you for your support.
