Support My Pan-Mass Challenge Ride For Cancer Research and Treatment
18th January
We may be in the midst of Winter in New England, but I’m already training for the two-day, 163 mile Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) bike-a-thon ride this Summer to raise money for Boston’s Dana Farber Institute research and treatment services to help children with cancer.
This year’s PMC ride August 2-3 is expected to attract over 5500 riders and more than 2200 volunteers seeking to raise over $40 million for the Jimmy Fund and the Dana-Farber Institute.

Demonstrating a Cloud Computing Use Case Via Social Cause Marketing
12th August
Nothing sells the value of a product or service better than demonstrating its utility in the context of a popular social cause. This marketing tactic not only illustrates the functional capabilities of the product or service, but also helps the vendor build goodwill in the marketplace.
This isn’t a new idea. Companies have been giving away their products and services in support of popular causes for years.
Now, the ‘on-demand’ and ‘cloud computing’ industries are using this marketing technique to illustrate how their solutions can be utilized in real-world situations.

The most recent example to cross my radar-screen was Axeda’s “Where’s Leslie?” promotional campaign in association with this past weekend’s Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) bikeathon.
