2nd annual Cape Ann Kids PMC ride for cancer

Hello,

I am hoping you will consider posting our flyer on your Facebook page. We are looking for local support to help get the word out about our ride to fight cancer. 

We are the kids branch of the Pan Mass Challenge and every thing we earn goes directly to Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.

We started last year after my daughter, Alexis Morris age 13 then, wanted to find a way to channel her mourning over the loss of her grandfather and subsequently her uncle 6 weeks later, to lung cancer. It was unexpected and left a gaping hole on her life. It was her idea to start our own kids PMC event, as one did not yet exist on the North Shore. Last year, our flagship event of 12 kids raised over $6000.00! We’re hoping to sign up 20 kids to ride this year and surpass last year’s money earned. Alexis, now 14, has already raised over $1000.00 on her own.

In order to do this, we need to reach more people; kids who want to ride, adults who want to volunteer and donate and businesses to sponsor us. 

We’re hoping a post or two from you before our event might reach just one more family interested in helping in the fight and perhaps, empower their child(ren) as it has done for ours. Here is our website for more information: http://www.kids.pmc.org/capeann.aspx and our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Capeannkidspmc

Thank you for your consideration.

All my best,

Jen Morris
