$2,500 in 7 Days Challenge!

Supporting the PMC means more healthy kids, like Maya!

It is time, once again, for my annual PMC fundraising challenge! As you know, this year my goal is to raise $10,000 for the fight against cancer, which will push me over the top for a total of having raised $100,000 in my 16 years of riding the Pan-Mass Challenge. I'd wouldn't have gotten here without generous support from people like you, so thank you!

In the next seven days, I hope to raise $2,500 in support of this lofty goal. In order to help make that happen, I have some awesome and generous friends who have donated items for me to raffle off! The raffle prizes are:

• A one-night stay at the W Boston hotel, including breakfast for two;
• A one-night stay at the 8 Dyer Hotel in Provincetown;
• A four-pack of Anna's Homemade Garlic-Infused Sea Salts; and
• Brunch for two at Yolqueria in Provincetown.

Raffle tickets are $25 each, or five for $100. The raffle runs from now through the end of the day on Monday, July 15. You can purchase raffle tickets by making a donation online. I will pull four winning tickets; the first winner will have their choice of prize, then the second, and so on, until all prizes are awarded.

Have you already made a donation and feel left out of the raffle? Fear not! If you make an ADDITIONAL donation, I will DOUBLE the number of raffle tickets you get. For example, donate an additional $25, and get TWO raffle tickets; donate an additional $100, and get TEN raffle tickets!

As always, 100% of your donation will go directly to the Jimmy Fund, which supports innovative and life-saving cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This is one of the BEST ways to make an impact in the fight against cancer. Together, we can make cancer HISTORY (and you can win some fabulous prizes, too!).
