Continuing to Ride After 34 Years...

Dear Friends,

It's been more than a year since the doctor called last January and asked me to meet him in his office that day. I knew what he was going to tell me. I just worried how bad the news would be. I cried a little too.

Three months later I was wheeled into the operating room, gave the surgeon a thumbs up, and hoped for the best. After two weeks recovering and three months waiting, I got my PSA test result at the end of June. It was 0.00, undetectable.

Now, it was time to focus. I had four weeks to train for the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge (PMC) . In that time I covered 467 miles on the road and numerous hours on the Peloton stationary bike to get ready. In spite of the rain, a flat tire, and a broken spoke 5 miles from the Sunday finish, I completed the ride. And as a bonus, I got to ride with Beka on Saturday as she completed her first Sturbridge to Bourne 109 mile PMC. To this day I am so proud of her determination to complete the ride through torrential rain just for me. As hard as it was for her, she never quit!

My story also brings other good news. Now more than a year removed from surgery, my PSA is still undetectable. Helen, Davina, Annie, and Mike are doing well. Their cancer has become a chronic disaese for them as it is for millions of others. Their lives go on.

In 1984 my dad died from prostate cancer after suffering for three years. His horrible death inspired me to first ride the PMC starting in 1985 and every year since. This ride will be my 34th consecutive ride and the second as Living Proof, a prostate cancer survivor.

Beka & Barry at the Sturbridge start

Thank you for being part of my PMC family and supporting me now and in years past. Without you, this ride is just 192 miles long. With you, it is a crusade, that we are winning, against a disease that hurts too many of us. Please consider boldly investing in the miracles that are unfolding today.

Every single dollar (100%) of your PMC donation fights cancer. We raised more than $51,000,000 last year, exceeding $600,000,000 in total. I need you, and those looking for hope need you. $600,000,000+, WOW!! Please be a part of this.

See you on the road.

Barry
