John Berryhill and I are riding in this year’s Pan-Mass Challenge to raise funds and awareness for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Each year we ride, we create a custom domain-industry cycling jersey as our primary source of fundraising. This raises considerable funds for Dana-Farber, and it also serves as a display of domain industry companies that support our efforts.

Each year, there is one lead sponsor whose logo is adorned on the front of our jersey, and there are many other companies whose logos are featured on the back and sleeves. You can see some of our past designs here, here, and here. Over the last 10 years, there have been several lead sponsors of our jersey:

2024 Pan-Mass Challenge

On August 3-4, 2024, I will be riding in my 11th Pan-Mass Challenge ride to benefit Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dana-Farber is a global leader in the fight against cancer, offering essential treatment and care to patients while spearheading some of the world’s most advanced cancer research. This year, the PMC will pass $1 billion in total funds raised for Dana-Farber.

When I started my fundraising in 2023, my cousin had recently been diagnosed with cancer. She was a patient at Dana-Farber, and after many months of treatment and surgeries, she is now cancer-free. A close friend of ours was just diagnosed with cancer, and she started her treatment plan a week ago. She will prevail. Sadly, Howard Neu recently passed away after battling cancer for 18 months. Cancer impacts all of us. 

John Berryhill will be joining me again for this year’s Pan-Mass Challenge ride and fundraising campaign. With the help of domain industry friends and colleagues, John and I have helped raise nearly $165,000 for Dana-Farber. Thank you!

John and I will soon share more information about sponsoring the special domain industry PMC jersey we will wear this year while we train and when we cross the finish line. In the meantime, if you would like to support my fundraiser with a donation in any amount, my fundraising page is here. You can also support John’s fundraising campaign. All of this year’s domain industry supporters are listed below and will continue to be added throughout the year.

Thank you to business friends and colleagues who have always generously supported our Pan-Mass Challenge fundraising. We appreciate you.

Personal Goal for 2024

My wife is a runner. Scratch that. My wife is an exceptional and competitive runner. I’ve never really gotten into running beyond the slightly more-than-occasional 5k run outdoors or the twice weekly indoor treadmill run.

Last year, I decided I wanted to run more, and I would hold myself accountable for the running I do. I set a goal of running 42 miles each month with an overall goal of 500 miles for the year. I began tracking each run distance in Excel to ensure I stayed on track for each month and the entire year.

Riding for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

Riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge is one of the most important things I do each year. All funds raised via the PMC go directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. DFCI is an important organization that is at the forefront of cancer research and treatment.

This year, the PMC is hitting closer to home for me. One of my family members is being treated by DFCI oncologists, having been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. We all probably know someone who has cancer or had cancer. It impacts everyone.

When I started my fundraising campaign for the Pan-Mass Challenge, I was anticipating that I would be riding and fundraising on my own. I hit my initial fundraising goal and am closing in on my stretch goal.

A month ago, attorney John Berryhill was able to change his schedule, and he will be riding with me for the fourth year. It will be John’s fifth time participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge. John got a late start on his fundraising, and I know your support would mean a great deal to him and to me.

My 2023 Domain Industry PMC Jersey

For a number of years, I have created a domain industry Pan-Mass Challenge jersey to raise funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Many domain industry companies have supported my PMC ride this year with donations of $500 or more. I am proud to share the final version of the jersey I will wear on the second day of the PMC as I cross the finish line:

I am debating whether or not to order custom matching shorts to go along with the jersey. If I can get two more companies willing to donate $500/each to my PMC fundraiser before the end of the week, I will have the shorts designed and purchase them for the ride. I can add one logo to each thigh. The caveat is the logos will need to look good on a green background. Alternatively, I could make the logos white to stand out. Email me first before making your donation to ensure availability.

Once again, I want to thank the people and companies who generously sponsored the jersey this year. I also want to thank all of my other domain industry colleagues who have supported my ride.

UPDATE:

Thanks to Andy Booth for helping me raise an additional $1,000 for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute with the addition of two logos on the side of a matching pair of cycling shorts. The logos I will be wearing are:

It looks like I could probably fit two additional logo on the front of the shorts above my knees (one on each leg). This would raise an additional $1,000 for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. If you’re interested, let me know, otherwise I will send these off to get printed on Monday afternoon.

First Look at my 2023 Domain Industry PMC Jersey

This August, I will be riding in my 10th Pan-Mass Challenge ride to raise funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I will be riding 162 miles over two days, from Wellesley, Massachusetts to Provincetown, Massachusetts. I’ve been receiving great domain industry support, and I appreciate it. So far, we have raised more than $9,000 when all donations are posted. My initial goal is $15,000.

On the second day of my ride, I will wear a custom jersey featuring the logos of domain industry sponsors who donate $500 or more. Historically, this custom jersey has generated the largest amount of donations for my ride. This year, Theo Develegas helped me design my jersey, and I think it looks great so far.

As of right now, there are at least 8 sponsor spots remaining. Three donations were secured after the design was sent to me and those logos aren’t on the jersey yet. I hope to send this off to the jersey maker (Jakroo) next week, so I can wear this throughout my Summer training rides.

Update: I think all spots are now taken. I will be sending this back to Jakroo to add the remaining logos. If there is anymore space, I will mention it on Twitter. 

Thank you!
