Support Team Chandler!
Lately, it feels as though everyone I know has cancer. When I meet someone new, I'm sometimes tempted to say "Hi, I'm Jim. What kind of cancer do you have?" Cancer has touched my life in more ways than I care to count these past two years.
To borrow a theme from the book "The Final Gift", when cancer strikes its like a stone tossed into a still pond - the ripples represent all the lives that are significantly impacted. So when I look around at all the people I know who have cancer, and reflect that I am merely one of the many, many ripples in each pond, it is staggering. If it hasn't already, having cancer touch your life is simply a matter of time.
That's what makes the work of the PMC so important - the search for a cure is the only way out of this. There are two things we can all do to support this search. The first, and in my opinion, most significant way we can support the search for a cure is to support stem cell research. Many people have religious issues with stem cell research, and that's understandable. Fortunately, there is another way to support the search - through financial donations to support traditional cancer research. And for that, there is no better method than the Pan Mass Challenge.
On behalf of Team Chandler through the PMC, please consider making a donation to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Simply click on the link below to pledge support for Tim Smith's "Team Chandler" ride.

Note - Tim's "story" page was created on July 1, before he'd learned the devastating news of ET's recent diagnosis.
