"Government policies may change, but our mission and our values do not."

There's a Lot Riding On Us
When the PMC celebrated passing the $1 billion mark last November, we knew our work was not done. What we did not know then was that lifesaving progress already funded by the PMC community would be threatened as is the case today. NIH funding cuts of up to 50% would be a significant blow to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, to its ability to develop cancer breakthroughs, and to the patients we ride for every year.
As a community, the PMC needs to stand up and do what we do best:
- Support best-in-class cancer research.
- Support Dana-Farber and its world-class team of doctors and nurses.
- Be the catalyst to developing cures and treatments for all cancers.
Dana-Farber needs our funding capacity more than ever. All of us have loyal donors who support our mission. With the potential to lose significant NIH funding, the work we have all championed for 45 years is threatened. Imagine if it were you, or your family, being told that funding for your clinical trial or treatment was now frozen, or worse, cut. The PMC has provided hope and funding for 45 years. We need to assure Dana-Farber – and the administration in Washington – that this pursuit is a national priority. If you have not already, please register to ride, Reimagine, or go Virtual.
