I will be riding in my 1st PMC this year, on August 3rd. I will ride with great sadness and a very, heavy heart in honor of my dad Mike, who lost his fight against lung cancer this past November.
The care dad received from his Dana Farber thoracic oncologists and palliative care providers at Brigham & Womens Hospital was exceptional. Our family is thankful for the support that the PMC provides to these great organizations enabling them to provide world class care to its patients, and to its researchers who are working to develop the very latest therapies for treating and beating cancer.
This years ride will have added significance as I'll be riding alongside my mom a 15yr PMC rider, and a cancer survivor herself. We are both riding as a part of the Patriot Platelet Pedalers Team of 185 riders, and our team is honoring my dad with his initials appearing on our team rider jerseys.
The PMC is leading the charge to beat cancer, and last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.
Thank you, in advance, for your kind and generous support!
Mike
