Talk:Pan-Mass Challenge

Disclosing COI
Hello! I, the author of the initial draft of this page, have a COI: I work for a communications agency for which the Pan-Mass Challenge is a client. I'm happy to help with any feedback about how to ensure this article is neutral and has encyclopedic value. I want to ensure I am transparent throughout the process of getting this article reviewed for a move to mainspace. Many thanks. Mary Gaulke (talk) 15:55, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
