Persuasive Speech: My First Pan-Mass Challenge

Hello Family and Friends.
I am writing you today to ask for your support. This year, on Saturday, August 5, I will be riding in my first Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), from Wellesley to Bourne. The PMC raises money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. My employer, Waters Technologies Corporation, is sponsoring a team for the first time, so I decided to join “Team Waters.” I will be riding in honor of my Mom, a breast cancer survivor and in memory of my sister, Jayne, who on May 17, 2017 lost her battle to liver and colon cancer.
I need to raise $4,000.00 and with your assistance I am hoping to exceed this goal.

Donations are tax deductible and can be made in various ways:

You may donate directly under my name at the following site: http://pmc.org/egifts/SB0430.
You may donate directly to “Team Waters” at http://profile.pmc.org/TW0160 and the proceeds will be distributed among the team.

If your company has a matching gift program please remember to complete the matching gifts information with your company and double your donation. Matching requests do need to be made before June 30, 2017 so that they will be paid before the fundraising deadline.

Last year the PMC presented Dana Farber Cancer Institute with a gift of over $40 million and this year is looking to exceed this amount. If you would like to know more about the PMC please visit their website at www.pmc.org.

Thank you for your support it means so much to me.
