This coming August 6th, I'll be one of 23 Cisco employees, family, and friends among the 5500 riders participating in the 2011 Pan Massachusetts Challenge ... a 192 mile cycling event crossing Massachusetts to fund the efforts of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
DFCI provides expert, compassionate care to children and adults with cancer while advancing the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure, and prevention of cancer and related diseases. Over the years, the PMC has raised $300+ million for DFCI.
I'm dedicating this year's effort to my 5 year old cousin Sean O'Donoghue, who is currently being treated for Wilms Tumor. He is doing great and really excited to be a 2011 PMC Pedal partner.

We've a lot of money to raise, and I need your help to do this. If you are able to make charitable contributions this year, I'd greatly appreciate your consideration.
Donations can be made to my campaign at Paul Duffy's PMC site
IMPORTANT: Cisco colleagues. I'll again be matching contributions, and Cisco will further match that. Your $50 will actually mean $200 going to the cause. Please see the Team Cisco blog for details

Thanks everyone!
