Dear Friends,

Thank you very much for your gift of $1000 to the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge.

The PMC supports the innovative work of doctors, nurses, and scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and their search for cures for cancers and related diseases.  Your gift is a tribute to Dana-Farber’s outstanding work and gives faith to patients, families and friends who seek the most effective and advanced care available today.

In 2006, the PMC donated 99 cents of every rider-raised dollar directly to cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund.  The PMC generates nearly 50 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue.  In 2006, the event raised and contributed $26 million to the Jimmy Fund, bringing its 27-year contribution to more than $171 million.  The PMC’s 2007 goal is to raise $27 million for the Jimmy Fund- cruicial funds that are making a difference in the lives of cancer patients around the world.

Thank you on behalf of all those touched directly by your kindness.

Sincerely,

Billy Starr
Founder and Executive Director
