If a
cure for cancer is “closer by the mile,” what’s the answer? More
Miles! This
year we’re riding 3,600 miles, from Vancouver, BC to Provincetown, MA, as our
participation in the Pan-Massachusetts
Challenge (the ”PMC”) to raise money for Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dana-Farber
was ranked
#4 nationally for cancer care by US
News and World Report in July, 2005, and is four-star ranked by Charity
Navigator for its efficiency with your contributions. In
connection with Canada Metal (Pacific) Ltd,
we are also riding in support of Vancouver’s BC
Children’s Hospital Foundation. Our cross country
ride will begin at Canada Metal’s headquarters in Vancouver. We
are also teaming with Lister Chain &
Forge to support Seattle’s Fred
Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. On-line gifts may be made here – please note on the
second page that you are supporting Lister’s
Coast-to-Coast Challenge. Over
the prior six years we’ve raised $120,000 for Dana-Farber. This year we want
to raise another $100,000 and we’re asking for your help. We continue to
believe that the PMC is a great charity fund-raiser, and that Dana-Farber is
most worthy of your support. Prior
Years’ rides: - 2005: we rode a bit more than the
official PMC route, clocking 215 miles and adding CT to our list of states
ridden. - 2004: in celebration of the
historic 25th annual PMC, we rode from David’s then-hometown of Cincinnati to
join the PMC - a total of 1,054 miles
over 11 days! (And no, you don’t want to know about the saddle sores) - 2003,
2002: we rode
about 300 miles by adding an extra day and 100 miles, starting from the MA/NY
state line. - 2001,
2000: we rode
the official PMC route, 192 miles from Sturbridge MA to Provincetown MA over
two days. |
