Donna Kleinman's Ride
The Number 10
Dear Friends and Family,
thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.
Welcome to 2010 ! This August I will be riding my 10th PMC. It is so hard to believe that it s been 10 years .. where does the time go? A few weeks ago in spin class I was thinking about my commitment for this year. It became very clear as the sweat poured off my face. 10 is such a great number .. it is 2010 ! My team Phat Tuesday is celebrating their 10th year as a team and I too am riding for the 10th year in a row.
Since 10 seems to be the number of the year , here are 10 reason to give.. if you think of others , please do share them with me ...as we all have our own reasons for giving.
# 1- Cancer is affecting too many people and we need to support the research to stop the numbers that face the dreaded diagnosis.
# 2 - I lost my husband of 11 year s back in 1993 , perhaps the next generation will be spared such a tragic loss
# 3-
Since the required minimum is $ 4200 and I do not have any large corporate sponsors to help with my fundraising minimum; this idea worked well last year so I am happy to report I am doing it again . The offer stands, simply donate $ 100 or more and you will recieve a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies ! Yes a batch and they will be delivered fresh to you. All you have to do is donate $100.
The PMC is the largest, most successful sports fundraising event in the world,
attracting 5,000 riders and 2,500 volunteers to central and south-east Massachusetts
for a two-day cycling event in August each year. Last year the PMC raised $35 MILLION dollars with 100% of all donations going directly to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute!
I am starting to train and always begin wondering if I will ever get in shape enough to pedal to the finish in Provincetown. But something about this event, the people I will meet along the way, the stories I will hear all make it do able. My pedal strokes are nothing in comparison to the challenges of beating cancer !
Feel free to browse the photos here, they capture the spirit of the PMC.
