"This was my third year riding. Chris (my hubby), Sue (mom-in-law) and Dave (my dad) are going for their 2nd. Our team was truly amazed by the ride last year, each of us challenged what we thought we could do. Some might think we are nuts. But we hope to continue riding and raising money for the PMC until there is a cure.

This year we have a $10,000 goal between the 4 of us. We haven't reached our goal as of yet but have until October 2005. Cancer has a way of touching everyone's lives in one way or another. I am lucky, My husband fought this disease and won. But there are still so many people we know that continue to fight this disease The mission of the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge is to raise money for life-saving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund.

Since it's founding in 1980, the PMC has been increasingly successful in mobilizing the support of all these constituencies. We strive to inspire even more proponents of our cause and intend the money we raise to afford Dana-Farber's doctors and researchers the resources necessary to discover cures for all cancers. The PMC is able to give 97 percent of funds raised directly to the Jimmy Fund because the event is run almost entirely by volunteers!

That been said We are looking for help from you to help us reach our goal.
There are a few ways you can donate.

Thank You all For the continued love and support.
Becca (crash jr.), Chris (speedy), Sue (gears), & Dave (crash sr.)

About PMC
The PMC, presented by the Boston Red Sox, is the nation’s original fundraising bike-a-thon and today raises more money than any other athletic fundraising event in the country. It is also the most cost efficient. With 97 cents of each dollar raised going directly to the Jimmy Fund, the PMC has contributed more than $122 million to lifesaving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute since its 1980 inception. On August 6 and 7, 2005, nearly 4,000 cyclists will travel six different routes, logging between 89 and 192 miles over one or two days, through 46 scenic Massachusetts towns from Sturbridge and Wellesley to Bourne and Provincetown.
