PMC Weekend is Here

This is one of my favorite weekends of the year. John Berryhill, my wife, and I will ride our bicycles 160+ miles over two days in the Pan-Mass Challenge to benefit Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dana-Farber is one of the world’s leading cancer organizations, and its mission is very close to my heart.

We are grateful for our friends and colleagues in the domain name investment space for their generous contributions throughout our ongoing fundraising campaign. We raised $25,000 and counting for Dana-Farber from our domain industry PMC supporters. On Sunday, the three of us will wear special domain investment community jerseys with the logos of some of the most generous supporters.

Cancer impacts all of us in one way or another. I have family members and friends who have had cancer. Some won their battles and others passed as a result. While riding 10+ hours, I spend quite a bit of time thinking about these people and about the people who are helped by Dana-Farber.

For nearly every mile of the Pan-Mass Challenge, there are people on the route cheering on the cyclists. Many of these people are connected to Dana-Farber in one way or another. It is a meaningful journey knowing that we are helping such a great organization. In fact, the PMC is Dana-Farber’s single largest contributor, accounting for 62% of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue. 100% of donations go directly to Dana-Farber.

Even as we ride, we are still hoping to raise additional funds. The name (and link if desired) of every domain investor or industry participant will be listed on the fundraising page as a “thank you” for supporting us.

Thank you for your ongoing support!
