Hi Everyone! I'm Marc Gundersheim, a proud husband, father, son, brother and uncle from Boston, MA and this will be my 3rd PMC! I will be riding the 192 mile ride from Sturbridge to Ptown.

I was initially inspired by my daughter, Jillian Gundersheim. Jillian is a pediatric oncology nurse at The Jimmy Fund Clinic. She cares for these brave children and their families. She helps them get through some of the darkest days of their lives. It is Jillian's passion for these kids that motivated me to start this journey. I ride with the hope that all of these children will be cured.

I am also riding in honor of my mother-in-law, Beverly Siagel, who fought her battle with cancer twice, and my Dad, Julius Gundersheim, who is still fighting his battle today. They will be on my mind throughout the 192 mile event. I also ride for some of my cousins, as well as many friends who have been fighting a battle with cancer. I will also hold dearly in my thoughts those we have lost to this dreaded disease.

Two years ago while attending a PMC gathering, I met a very special man. His name is Steve Branfman and he is the captain of the team Kermit. He and his wife Ellen lost their son, Jared, to cancer. Steve's devotion and love for this event is deeply inspiring. I am honored to ride along with Team Kermit!

Team Kermit rides to support Jared Branfman Sunflowers For Life Fund For Pediatric Brain And Spinal Cancer Research. Here is a piece on Team Kermit: :http://tinyurl.com/d2od42n

I hope you were able to learn a bit more about why this ride and experience is so important to me. I appreciate you taking the time to visit my page. Please consider making a donation; no amount is too small. We will wipe out cancer one ride at a time!

Best,

Marc
