On August 4th and 5th, I will be cycling in thePan-Mass Challenge to benefit the Jimmy Fund. I am asking your help in raising money for the great work the Jimmy Fund does in the field of cancer research (part of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute focused on childhood cancers). For the ninth year, I will be riding on Team Perry, a group of over 70+ spirited riders who collectively raised over $400,000 last year, and nearly $3.0 million over the last decade. 

With the funds we have raised, we have endowed two Fellows at Dana Farber to conduct cutting edge research in gastrointestinal cancer.  As we crossover the $3.0 million dollar threshold, we will be hiring more.  Their research is essential in unlocking the cure to cancer.

All funds are allocated to the Perry S. Levy Fund for Gastrointestinal Cancer Research* at Dana Farber. All donations are tax-deductible and over 100%of every dollar raised goes directly to the charity. Donations can be made via credit card by clicking on the egift icon on this page or by check payable to PMC-The Jimmy Fund and mailed to me at HotelAVE, 333 Westminster Streeet #3, Providence, RI 02903. 

With your help, we can win this battle. Please consider giving generously to this cause. To honor the memory of those we have lost to cancer. To give hope and courage to those who battle cancer today and in the future. This is a bicycle ride for life.

*Perry S. Levy, the late husband of my dear friend Melissa Jacoby, our team captain, passed away six years ago from gastrointestinal cancer. This form of cancer is rare yet deadly and as such, is not broadly researched. Team Perry has raised over $2,500,000 for this fund and is now funding two fellows at Dana Farber focused on researching colon cancer in the hopes of finding a cure. Please give generously.
