Help defeat cancer 

Back in December, I shared the story of my cousin's fight with cancer on this blog. This year, my wife will be riding in the Pan Mass Challenge to keep Brad's fight, one that he personally lost, alive.

The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge raises money for life-saving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through an annual bike-a-thon that crosses the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Since its founding in 1980, the PMC has successfully melded support from committed cyclists, volunteers, corporate sponsors and individual contributors.

Mailin is riding for Team Novartis, and her company sponsor is matching any contribution of $25 or higher made through their team. You can click here to make sure your donation gets matched. Even if you can't contribute $25, any amount would be appreciated!

Thank you!

Dear Todd, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin. Please know you are our thoughts and prayers. Hopefully with the research that is being done now, we are closer to stamping out such a dreaded disease. My sister-in-law, Chris Iacobuzio-Donahue, MD, PhD, has dedicated her life to learning all she can to find a cure for one of the most fatal and insidious forms of cancer there is. I will definitely be sending Chris a donation on behalf of your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Regards, Kathleen Jones
