I would love to do Pan Mass, but the fundraising minimum is too high. I'm struggling to raise $500 for a similar charity. I think it would be a little easier to get people to give for Pan Mass since I'm Boston based so all my friends/family are far too familiar with Dana Farber and their work. But my company doesn't help with these things and you really need corporate help or friends with really deep pockets (and generous hearts).
I know there are shorter routes with lower minimums and even virtual rider where you do what you want. But since everyone here is familiar with the Pan Mass, they are going to assume I'm riding Sturbridge to Provincetown and I'd feel like I was "cheating" if I accepted donations and did a shorter ride.
