This year our team grows by
one! Mike Quincy, another of our college clan, is joining us for this year’s
ride. Mike and Carl did the 1998 Boston-NY AIDS ride, and inspired David to
ride the PMC with Carl. The rest is history. With the support of our
generous donors, over the past eight years we’ve raised over $300,000 for the
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Jimmy Fund. This year we’ll be riding
the scheduled Pan-Massachusetts Challenge,
but ask that you’ll honor us with a gift to support cancer research and care. Dana-Farber
has repeatedly been ranked in the top 5 by US News and World Report for cancer
care, and is four-star ranked by Charity
Navigator for its efficiency with your contributions. In 2007, the PMC
was ‘perfect,’ using none of your gifts to cover administrative costs. Prior
Years’ rides: - 2007:
Carl rode from the NY line. David joined him in Sturbridge for the formal PMC. - 2006: Transcontinental. Almost $170,000
raised. 3,600 miles over 38 riding days during one of the hottest summers in
recorded history. - 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. |
