PMC 2012 – Let’s Do This!

by Jason Davis on January 10, 2012

Dear friends,

Today I’ve committed to raising money for cancer research by riding in the 2012 Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), an annual bike-a-thon across Massachusetts that raises money for research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DCFI) in Boston. In fact, the PMC raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country, $338 million since 1980 and $35 million last year alone!

Like last year, it’s a three-day PMC for me and some teammates. We will ride 300 miles in 3 days from the New York Border to P-Town! Last year you guys were amazing and we donated $6,580.35 to Dana Farber. As a team, my PMC team Forza-G donated $290,843!

On a more somber note, this year I will be riding in honor of my friend Dan’s 10-year old daughter Allie, who is battling against an aggressive brain tumor. Even though you don’t all know Dan and his family, I hope you can all find some time to keep them in your thoughts as they go through the fight of their lives. Allie is being treated at Boston’s Children’s Hospital, with consults from Dana-Farber.

I thank you in advance for your support and dedication to this important cause. 100% of your donation goes straight to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This is rare and amazing that the PMC ensures that all rider-raised funds go directly to the cause.

Jason Davis

Dear PMCers, With the permission of the family, I am sharing the story of one rider’s commitment in the face of a dire diagnosis. Her story moved all of us at the PMC office and I believe it will move you as well. The story is part of the fabric of our culture and the [...]
