Please join CFS in supporting two of our members, Justin Schroth, and Sara Cole while they ride various routes in the Pan-Mass Challenge on August 3rd and 4th!  Justin and Sara are participating in the widely known bike-a-thon to support Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.  Justin will be riding the full 2-day, 192-mile ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown and Sara will be riding the 1-day route from Bourne to Wellesley.  The Pan-Mass Challenge’s goal is to raise money for life-saving cancer research and treatment by providing Dana Farber’s doctors and researchers with the necessary resources to discover new cures for cancer and thus, saving someone’s life  Both Justin and Sara have lost close family members to cancer and know firsthand how important bringing these life-saving treatments to loved ones are.  Please help them in their contribution to fighting cancer one mile at a time!  

We will be kicking off our Whole Life Challenge WOD on Saturday, July 13th and Justin & Sara will be here all morning cheering us on. Any donations to the Pan-Mass Challenge will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Closer By The Mile-About the Pan-Mass Challenge

The Pan-Mass Challenge raises money for life-saving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through an annual bike-a-thon that crosses Massachusetts. Since its founding in 1980, the PMC has successfully melded support from committed cyclists, volunteers, corporate sponsors, and individual contributors. All are essential to the PMC’s goal and model: to attain maximum fundraising efficiency while increasing its annual gift. Our hope and aspiration are to provide Dana-Farber’s doctors and researchers with the necessary resources to discover cures for all cancers.

PMC History

Established by Billy Starr in 1980 and under his direction, the PMC has grown considerably and consistently from its modest beginnings into an event that draws 6,700 cyclists from 43 states and 12 countries. Today, the Pan-Mass Challenge raises more money than any other athletic fundraising event in the country. The PMC generates more than 55 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue and it is Dana-Farber’s single largest contributor. Over the past 39 years, PMC cyclists have ridden to raise and contribute $654 million to cancer research.

The now nationally recognized PMC is a tribute to Starr’s unending desire to achieve, make a difference, and raise money for cancer research. It is also a model for all athletic fundraising events, setting the pace for a now $5 billion industry.

    If anyone wants to donate, I’ll do 190 burpees (one for each mile of the PMC) and whatever is earned will go to Justin and Sara. Any takers?!
