Country Singers Craig Campbell & Chad Bearden Tackle the Pan-Mass Challenge

Last night, Country Artists Craig Campbell and Chad Bearden successfully joined forces to support Kelly Bernard's Pan-Mass Challenge Charity Event at Loretta's Last Call in Boston.  The night was filled with entertainment and excitement as Craig and Chad lit up the venue to raise money for the event.  

The Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) is an annual bike-a-thon to raise money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute during National Cancer Control Month.  The PMC event brings together thousands of cyclists, volunteers, donors and sponsors to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 

Kelly Bernard is one of those cyclists who rides and supports the Pan-Mass Challenge.  10 years ago, Kelly herself was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.  With the help of the doctors and nurses at the Dana Farber Institute and The Jimmy Fund Clinic using the latest in innovative treatment techniques she is now leukemia-free.  Not only is she a leukemia survivor, but has gone on to become an Pediatric Oncology Nurse at the Boston Children's Hospital; on the same floor in which she was once treated.  At the event, her fellow nurses came to support her cause. 

In the Pan-Mass Challenge, Kelly will ride 168 miles across Massachusetts for her second time.  If you would like to support her efforts and help her find a search for the cure, visit and contribute to her Pan-Mass Challenge page here http://profile.pmc.org/kb0367
