Ride For ThemOk. So ostensibly this is a fundraiser. But it is one that I'm particularly proud of because it has brought together over twenty families of children with cancer. My
wife and I will be riding in the
2006 Pan-Massachusetts Challenge, a 192-mile bicycle ride from Sturbridge, MA to Provincetown, MA. The Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) is the oldest athletic fundraising event in the country, having started in 1980, and last year raised over $23 million dollars for the
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Ninety-nine percent of every dollar raised through the PMC goes directly to the Dana-Farber, making it one of the most efficient charitable organizations in the country. I have personally set a goal of $100,000 to be raised in honor of
my patients. Please let me know what you think of the site, and please consider spreading word of it to friends/colleagues. Most of the money I've raised has been by word-of-mouth, and I'm hoping to meet my goal assisted by the kindness of others (including a
huge boost by the guys at CarTalk).
