Pan-Mass Challenge

The Pan-Mass Challenge is the single largest athletic fundraising event in the US, with 100% of all donations benefiting the Dana Farber Cancer Institute's Jimmy Fund. It is a 2 day bike ride from Sturbridge or Wellesley to Provincetown, with riders completing approximately 100 miles each day. This ride is a week away on August 2 and 3.

I would love to ride in this event at least once in the coming years. I guess you could say I'm a PMC rider wannabe. But until that time, I'm cheering on two friends:

One is Drew, who has been riding the PMC for the last 16 years. He rides with 9 other family members and friends on Team Dolben, pictured below, which collectively raised over $90K last year.













The other is my friend Cheryl, who has participated in this event for the last 18 years with her husband. They ride on Team Martignetti and the two of them hope to raise $16K this year.Good luck to you both with your fundraising efforts. Ride strong and have fun!
