“Update: Four Weeks to the PMC”

The first seven days of July had five rides, for a total of 259.87 miles and an average speed of 19.06 miles per hour.

The PMC starts in just four weeks. 100 *hilly* miles on Friday (August 5), 112 miles on Saturday, and 80 miles on Sunday. All to raise money for cancer research. I'm working really hard to make sure my body is ready for that weekend.

I still need sponsors!

Would you please think about that for a second before you move on? Did you ever love someone with cancer? A friend, a grandparent, a brother or sister, your mom or dad, your wife or husband, your son or your daughter?

DFCI, which is the ultimate destination of about 95% of the money we raise through the PMC, is consistently rated as one of the best, most effective, most progressive, and most important facitlities for the care, treatment and research of cancer. In the world.

We're not messing around. This isn't a joke, or a scam. It wouldn't just be "nice" if more people would donate. It's essential. The PMC is trying to raise $21,000,000 this year! That's a huge number. I'm just trying for $6,000. Please, stop "wishing me the best of luck." The world is full of well-wishers. Go make a donation! That's *your* Pan-Mass Challenge.
