Cuttin’ it for Cancer
 
Dear Friends & Family,

As most of you know, I’m an active supporter of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and their mission to provide life-saving cancer care and research. This is my second year raising funds for Dana Farber by participating in the Pan Mass Challenge, a 192-mile bike ride the first weekend of August. While I haven’t had much time to train this year (0 miles logged as of posting this on 7/8), I feel it’s important to push the boundaries because the strong patients and great clinicians at Dana Farber do so on a daily basis.
 
This year I will be doing it in “style”, based on the amount of funds we can raise with this campaign. While I haven’t been clean shaven in well over 2 years, I’ll be trimming down the beard into the following styles for the race based on achieving the corresponding cumulative amounts raised:
 
Total Raised    Style
$50                  Goatee
$100                Mustache
$175                The Zappa
$250                The Anchor
$350                Circle Beard
$450                Handle Bars
$600                Mutton Chops
$750                Friendly Chops
$1,000             The Winnfield
$1,250             A La Souvarov
$1,500             Flames
 
Please join me in supporting Dana Farber to help provide their doctors and researchers with the resources necessary to continue to make life-changing breakthroughs in cancer research and patient care. 100% of all proceeds raised through this campaign will go to Dana Farber.

Also, feel free to join me at the Pan Mass Challenge on 8/3 & 8/4!

Thanks in advance for your support!

Mike
