Three generations, 26 years of supporting cancer research is family affair for area man

For the seventh time, northern Jefferson County resident Wil Carroll will cycle 80 miles in the annual Pan Mass Challenge to raise money to fight cancer August 4 and 5. It will also be the 23rd time he has fundraised for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the PMC.

“I haven’t raised a particularly round number in those seven years,” says Carroll, thanking his supporters and contributors for the $39,604 donated.

This year his goal is $10,396 to bring his pledge levels to an even $50,000. By July 29 just over half of that had been donated.
