The Oracle of Apollo Snippets from the life of Apollo Lee

Pan-Mass Challenge 2008

Last weekend, my friend, Seth rode in the Pan-Mass Challenge for the sixth time. The Pan-Mass Challenge is a three-day charity ride across the state of Massachusetts to raise money for the Jimmy Fund at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This event raises millions of dollars for cancer research and I’m proud that my friend rides in it.

I’m also proud that I have the means to sponsor Seth’s ride for the fourth year. This year I am donating ten cents for every mile on Seth’s cycling diary. As of yesterday’s update, he has ridden 3116.53 miles. So, right now, I’m sponsoring Seth for $311.65. I challenge all of you who read this blog to help me push Seth into “heavy hitter” status again.

How can you help? Seth has several ways you can contribute on his website. I’m making a direct donation. You can also donate to his software auction, if you’re a developer.

Congratulations, Seth, on your sixth PMC. You’re doing us all proud.

Thanks so much AGAIN, Apollo! I lost a couple of key donors this year (one just got married so didn’t have the money for a donation, the other cut his previously gigantic donation in half). Anything anyone can do to help is really appreciated.

The goal this year is $10,000. I’m about 11% of the way there…
