Some readers will know my Aussie mate, Ross Mair. Ross was a postdoctoral fellow in my lab in 1995 and 1996. He is now Head of MR Physics at Harvard's Center for Brain Science, Neuroimaging facility. Ross has just written me a lovely letter. Last year, he rode in the Pan Massachusetts Challenge (PMC) bike ride to raise money for cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. In an 84-mile bike ride he raised $3960. He dedicated that ride to his mother, who at the time was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Ross's Mum has now completed her treatment successfully and has returned to full health.
This year he is riding for me! I am really honoured and delighted!
