Hey guys, I'm doing something crazy again !!
On August 1st & 2nd, I'll be competing in the Pan Mass Challange again! So many people thought I was crazy for getting on a bike and riding for 96 miles... especially when I trained on a bike maybe 5 times before. Well, I completed it in just 6 hours (which is impressive for me).
This year, my crazy self signed up for an even longer ride, a whopping 161 miles !! I'll be riding from Wellesley, MA, all the way down the cape to Ptown! BUT its still for a good cause.
Many of you know, my mother was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a blood cancer, at the beginning of 2011. This cancer is usually caught too late, which makes it hard for someone to overcome it. Fortunately, it was found in the early stages for my mom. Multiple Myeloma is the second most common blood cancer. Currently, there is no cure. Though my mom is healthy right now, there are people that secum to the disease everyday.
My mom is an absolute animal! I've seen her get poked, prodded, sick to her stomach, as weak as can be from this disease. But she will never let cancer kick her ass! This summer I watched her fully complete hiking up all 4,000ft mountains in New England. She is such an inspiration, and is the reason why I'm going to be pushing myself through 161 miles of sheer endurance.
My fundraising goal is $5,500 and I would really like to surpass it! Every penny raised will directly go to Dr. Anderson, of, Dana-Farber Institute, and their research to find a cure.
This is for you mom, love you!
