Revivio Employees to Participate in PAN-Massachusetts Challenge to Raise Money for Cancer Research and Treatment

LEXINGTON, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- Aug. 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. "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 enables the PMC to contribute more money than any other athletic event in the country and make such a difference for those fighting cancer around the world. "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.
