David, Mike and
Carl at the
PMC’s Nickerson
waterstop in 2014
August 2 - 4, 2019
This is the 40th annual PMC
and our 20th PMC. Carl rode a
“true” Pan-Massachusetts Challenge, beginning in West Stockbridge and heading
east to Provincetown over three days. Mike and David rode the 160-mile
two-day PMC from Babson College in Wellesley to Provincetown.
We remain committed to this
exceptional cause and we ask for your support. We wouldn’t still be doing
this otherwise, right? The Dana-Farber Cancer
Institute is one of America’s finest cancer research and care centers
(repeatedly ranked in the top 5 by US
News and World Report for cancer care, and well-ranked by Charity
Navigator for its efficiency with your contributions), and your gift
allows Dana-Farber to do cutting edge work in the field.
With the support of our
generous donors, over the past 19 years we’ve raised over $700,000 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Jimmy Fund.
