Pan-Mass Challenge Since 1980, the PMC has raised $1.125 billion for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
(254)

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 the Commonwealth of 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 is to provide Dana-Farber's doctors and researchers with the necessary resources to discover cures for all cancers.

Last night, the PMC community gathered at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for the PMC Impact Evening: Breast Oncology, presented by AstraZeneca

Riders, volunteers, and sponsors came together to hear from two leaders in breast cancer care and research. Dr. Philip Poorvu, a medical oncologist in Dana-Farber’s Breast Oncology Center, shared his work caring for patients, with a special focus on young adults with breast cancer and survivorship. Dr. Myles Brown, the Emil Frei III Professor of Medicine at Dana-Farber and Harvard Medical School, discussed his lab’s research into the epigenetic factors behind steroid hormone action, work that is shaping how we understand and treat hormone-dependent cancers like breast cancer. After the Q&A, guests toured Dr. Brown’s lab to see where the discoveries happen.

Every mile ridden and every dollar raised fuels this science. Thank you to everyone who joined us, to AstraZeneca for their support, and to the Dana-Farber team for sharing their time and expertise.

Happy DAF Day from all of us! As Michele says, “At the PMC, every day is DAF day!”
