This year will be my first PMC ride. Growing up on Cape Cod, I've seen first hand how powerful this ride is not only for the supporters but also the families affected by cancer. It's always been a goal of mine to get involved but unfortuantely I've never had the courage to join. I finally decided this year would be different and I would make the leap. I know it's going to be challenging but I also know I have all of you to support me along the way.

This year I will be riding for Logan Dunne and Kevin Fitzgerald. For those of you who are part of the Nauset Community, you understand how much the loss of these two amazing individuals impacted our small island. Both Logan and Kevin embodied the spirit of enjoying life to its fullest and spreading relentless humor and love to everyone around them - something that has and always will inspire me.

I look forward to the challenge of the ride but know that my challenge pales in comparison to those fighting to fund a cure or those patients fighting for their lives. Thanks for contributing to the PMC.
