Some fun facts...

To give you an idea of the impact of the PMC, here are some facts that I found interesting/inspiring:

• This year marks the 30th annual PMC. Since its inception in 1979, it had raised nearly $240 million for Dana-Farber through the Jimmy Fund.
• In 2008, 100% of all $35 million raised by PMC riders went directly to the Jimmy Fund. Not one cent was used for administrative and organizational expenses.
• The PMC generates half of the Jimmy Fund's annual revenue.
• Nearly 300 of the 5,500+ riders are cancer survivors or current patients.
• The route I have chosen spans 190-miles and 46 towns, from Sturbridge to Provincetown.
• Funding provided by the PMC supports the efforts of more than 3,000 DFCI faculty and staff members as they make countless advances that have become the standard of cancer care and research.
