Please Support Me to raise money for Stem Cell Transplants I am a Virtual Walker with my sisterinlaw Nancy. The ride is this Weekend.

Determination: Real good cause - please get behind this!

Nancy Cantor is my sister-in-law and has participated in this ride for many years. Thanks for supporting us. Love, Laura

Cancer touches all of us. All too often we hear of someone who is facing the challenges of this disease. Thankfully, there are new developments in how stem cell transplants can help cure cancer patients.

That is why I became a Virtual Rider with the Stem Cell Cyclists, a PMC team that funds the leading edge stem cell research of Dr. Corey Cutler. His work at Dana Farber can provide millions of people with safe transplants that will lead to their full recovery.

The team also supports Pedal Partner, Declan Rourke, a 3-year old, recovering from brain cancer. After being treated at Dana Farber, he is back to school and back to his life.

We fundraise so many more like Declan can have the same great treatment and cure.

On August 2nd & 3rd, my fundraising partner, Nancy Cantor, will be riding in the Pan Mass Challenge (PMC), a bike-a-thon from Wellesley to Provincetown. The PMC supports the efforts of the Jimmy Fund and the Dana Farber Cancer Research Center in Boston.

If you have been touched by cancer and share my commitment,

Please make a donation to support this important research that will enable those diagnosed with cancer to live a full and contributory life.

Please become a virtual rider and fundraising partner—like me and make an even larger contribution to this cause---I can show you how.
