The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge Charity bike rides raise $200 million a year. This story includes the PMC: "The "Big Nine" -- each which typically involves multiple rides -- raised $180 million for charity in 2008. The biggest single event, the 2-day Pan-Mass Challenge in Massachusetts, raised a record $35 million in pledges for programs at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston."

Roughly two-thirds of the 1,700 recreational road bicycling events held in 2008 raised money for a cause, collecting nearly $200 million for charities in the US.

The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge Support PMCer Jothy Rosenberg -- His amazing story comes out in the coming weeks! http://www.facebook.com/whosaysicant
Who Says I Can't “You have zero chance of survival.” That is what I heard when my doctor explained the severity of the cancer that had returned three years after it took my right leg. Now the cancer was in my lung, and that would have to be taken as well. What I heard was that I had no chance of survival. What he ac...tually said was, “No one so far has ever survived once this type of cancer spreads through the blood stream.” Same difference to a 19-year-old who had already lived through three years of hell and thought he’d faced the worst. The end was eminent, that was the message. That was 36 years ago. I survived. And then some. This book is about how the psyche handles the idea that the end is near, the changes that take place within a person who thinks he will soon die, and ultimately how one can not only survive but fight back, recover and thrive. This is not a “cancer book.” Those are written when the survival is new and fresh and the experience raw. Instead, this book, written with more than 36 years of perspective, is about human perseverance, adaptability, and strength.Read More
