This will be my 8th PMC ride and every year my list of dear family and friends who have battled cancer gets longer. I continue to ride because I believe in the PMC mission. 100% of every dollar raised goes towards cancer research and care at Dana Farber. And as a living-proof survivor, I've seen the need for more research but also how the fundraising that PMC does contributes to those research efforts. My brother-in-law Howard gallantly fought cancer for 13 years, taking every advance the medical world had to offer. He stood tall, walked hundreds of miles over those years through it all, and not only never complained but was grateful for the extra time and quality of life that advances in cancer research gave him. A model and hero on the medical front. We may never know what researchers learned from his cancer battle but I have no doubt others will benefit in the long run. This will be the first year Howard won't be at the Dighton water stop to greet me, but I know that he will be with me on the ride.
