REVIVIO EMPLOYEES TO PARTICIPATE IN PAN–MASSACHUSETTS
CHALLENGE TO RAISE MONEY FOR CANCER RESEARCH AND TREATMENT
Lexington, MA – August 2, 2004 – On August 7 and 8, Revivio, Inc.
employees will join with nearly 4,000 other cyclists in the
nation’s most successful bike-a-thon, the
PAN-Massachusetts Challenge (PMC), to raise money for
life-saving cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber
Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund.
The PMC cyclists will travel six different routes, logging
between 89 and 192 miles over one or two days, through 46
scenic Massachusetts towns from Sturbridge and Wellesley
to Bourne and Provincetown. The goal is to raise $17 million,
elevating the PMC’s total Jimmy Fund donation to nearly $120 million.
Bruce Greer, an 11-year PMC cyclist and a principal
software engineer at Revivio is the captain of the PMC’s
Friends for Life Team, which is made up of over 100 riders.
The Friends for Life Team consists of friends and
family of children that have been afflicted with neuroblastoma,
a form of cancer found primarily in very young children.
The current treatment for neuroblastoma is a protocol that lasts
close to a year and generally includes surgery, chemotherapy,
radiation treatment and stem cell transplants.
PMC Founder and Executive Director Billy Starr says Greer’s
dedication,and that of the thousands of PMC cyclists, is what
enables the PMC to ontribute more money than any other athletic
event in the country and make such a difference for those fighting
cancer around the world.

To support the Friends for Life team, tax deductible donations
can also be made via the PMC Web site

“It is extraordinarily difficult to endure this as an adult, let
alone to be subjected to it all before your second birthday,” Greer
said. “During past rides when I thought I was losing steam,
I just thought about everything these kids and their families
have to go through and the tireless work of the Jimmy Fund,
and it really has given me the strength to ride on."
Added Greer, “I have been overwhelmed by the personal support and
financial generosity I have received from both Revivio as a corporation,
as well as its employees individually".
PMC Founder and Executive Director Billy Starr says Greer’s
dedication,and that of the thousands of PMC cyclists, is what

“The Friends for Life Team is extremely motivated to raise crucial
funds for cancer research. We wish Bruce and the other riders
from Revivio the greatest of luck on their ride,” says Starr.
