Jun 1, 2020 11:29:42 AM

The Pan-Mass Challenge is excited to announce that Charles River Apparel is an official sponsor of this year’s PMC, which has been reimagined due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The PMC raises more money for charity than any other athletic fundraising event in the country, donating 100% of every rider-raised dollar directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to support life-saving cancer research and treatment. In 2019, the PMC donated $63 million to Dana-Farber, bringing its 40-year contribution to $717 million.

Get Ready! Introducing Plans for PMC 2020 Reimagined

As you know, on May 1, we announced that the traditional Pan-Mass Challenge will be “reimagined” for this year. Since then, the PMC staff has been hard at work creating new tools and experiences designed to excite our riders and raise as large a gift as we can for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. To paraphrase our announcement in The Boston Globe, “PMC 2020 may be reimagined, the need to raise funds for life-saving cancer research and treatment is very real.”

I lost my husband, Mario, two years ago to pancreatic cancer. He was the fire chief of the Watertown Fire Department for 13 years and served the department for 29.

In early 2017 our mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and after a short month of relief she was back to battling metastatic breast cancer. Over the past three years we have watched her endure countless tests, multiple rounds of chemo, clinical trials, and a handful of surgeries while always continuing to fight.

Although, I have been a Cyclist  for the past 40 years this is the 1st year I will be riding  the PMC. Like many of you,  the scourge of cancer has either threatened me personally or someone near and dear to me. Indeed, on the day I registered to ride this year's PMC, 2 close friends related to me ongoing battles with the disease.
