Raising Money for the Fight Against Cancer

One of Axceler's own, Yancy Lent, will be riding in this year's Pan Mass Challenge
raising money for cancer research. This will be Yancy's third Pan Mass after his five year old son was diagnosed with leukemia in 2007.
The good news is after three rounds of chemotherapy, five months in a children's hospital and a bone marrow transplant, his son is now
doing well. And Yancy is still riding.
Founded in 1980, the Pan Mass Challenge has raised over $270 million for cancer research and treatment. And for the third consecutive year, 100% of all rider-raised funds went to the cause. Over 250,000 individual contributions were made last year.
The Pan Mass Challenge will take place August 7th and 8th and registration to participate is still
open. You can make contributions to Yancy's ride
