A local Humane Society.

Salvation Army and Florida Sheriffs Ranch. The Sheriffs Ranch takes in and houses abandoned and abused children until they are old enough to go tro college or be self sufficient. They are both great organizations, people helping people

I rode in the Pan Massachusetts Challenge for several years. It is the major fundraising arm for the Dana Farber Cancer Center in Boston, MA. Since 1980, the ride has raised over $700,000,000
(Yes, 700 million) because every dollar donated to a rider goes directly to the charity. The PMC corporate arm is responsible for getting sponsorships for the various activities surrounding the event. I believe this year's goal is $52 million dollars in direct support of the Dana Farber Cancer Center. I'm obviously not riding this year, but have already donated and if you have any charitable dollars available, please consider donating.
PM me if you would like further information.
I rode for 7 years, raised thousands of dollars for research.
I now have terminal lung cancer.
The life you save could be mine.
Thank you.
