Why I Ride ...
I'm a proud supporter of the PMC, because it is leading a charge to beat cancer.
As many of you know, about 15 years ago, my mom beat stage IV Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, despite her prognosis of a few months to live. This past year, we were devastated to hear that the cancer had returned, and that chemo was not going to be enough. After undergoing a stem cell transplant in August, at DFCI, preceded by a few months of chemo, she beat it again. These miracles don't come every day, and we need to keep reminding ourselves to never take advantage of each and every healthy day.
My heart aches to inform that my brother-in-law's father, Robert Stevenson, was diagnosed with liver cancer this past September and so sadly passed in November. Life can be so delicate, so harsh, and so abrupt. Cancer research and treatments have advanced exponentially over the past few years, but we still have so far to go.
In addition to riding in honor of my mom, I will be riding in memory of Robert, and in the pursuit of beating this horrible disease.
This event inspires me in particular, as 100% of rider-raised revenue is donated to the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Since 1980, the PMC has contributed $598 million. wow.
Thank you very much for contributing to my ride and for supporting cancer research.
