PANMASS CHALLENGE WEEKEND: On Saturday and Sunday Jody and the other members of Team Rialto-Trade will make their fifth ride in the annual PanMass Challenge, raising money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.  This year’s route, divided over two days, runs 192 miles from Sturbridge, in western Massachusetts, to Provincetown, on the tip of Cape Cod.  Cancer connects all of us.  This year will bring the team’s aggregate total to almost $500,000.  Please help Team Rialto-TRADE strike a blow for cancer research.  You can make a donation here.  Thank you.
