Today was the formal beginning of the Obama administration but, clearly, the work already had started on or even before Election Day. Optimism is high.
The Pan-Mass Challenge starts, for many, the day they register, but in reality, the work on the 2009 PMC started before the 2008 PMC. Probably started in earnest two years ago, but we can't deny the impact of the 29 PMCs that have been staged.
All this makes the PMC most productive athletic fundraisers in the world. Last year, we riders-- more than 5000 cyclists -- raised $35 million to fund research and patient care at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. 100% of funds raised by riders went directly to the Dana Farber through the Jimmy Fund. Riders pay registration fees while sponsors donate goods, services, and funds generously to cover the expenses of all the events. Your support pays for nothing but the good work going on over there.
Please donate what you can, and pass this along to anyone else who may be interested in supporting the great work at Dana Farber through our ride in the PMC.
192 days to the Pan-Mass Challenge.
