I sit humbled and honored to be writing to you once again about my participation in the Pan Mass Challenge.  When I signed up to do this for the first time 4 years ago, I was excited about the physical aspect of the ride and the chance to "do good" while I was doing that.  Now, I can honestly say that the Pan Mass Challenge, the fight against children's cancer, and being a member of TeamBrent have all become important parts of who I am.  I am a part of a team that has as it's motto- "Making a Difference".  And we are. But so are you.  Everyone of you that has supported me year after year have helped me reach my goals in fundraising and have contributed to the continuing research into treating and curing children's cancer.  I ride the bike, but your funds are what are making the difference.  TeamBrent will be 50 strong, proud people wearing our trademark Vineyard Vines Jersey and a lobster on our helmet, but while we ride the 200 miles through Massachusetts over 2 days in August, we will be representing each of you.  Because of all of you, TeamBrent has now raised over $5 million since it started 6 years ago.  TeamBrent started as a young boy named Brent started his awe inspiring fight against cancer.  And now, Brent is doing so well, that I got a chance to witness his true jump from a boy with cancer to a boy who survived cancer, as he shaved his head at a recent St Baldricks event.  As I learned from his parents, he survived because a bunch of people raised money years and years before Brent was diagnosed, so that the research could be done to find Brent's cure.  An equally important lesson that they taught me is that just because Brent is better, it doesn't mean that the fight stops. Don't we all want to be that person that helps provide the money that leads to the cure for some family in the future, or even better, know that our funds bring us to a point that no parent ever has to be told that their child has cancer.  Thank you for all that you have done and all that you continue to do.  Please contribute.  Know that you are making a difference.  You are part of the cure.  You can donate by visiting my Pan Mass Challenge profile page and please also know that  100% of the money goes to the Jimmy Fund of the Dana-Farber Cancer Instiitute.
