I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, 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.

Living through this extremely difficult emotional period of my life, beginning with the loss of my husband in June of 2017, I am very grateful for this opportunity to focus on making a difference in the fight against cancer.

I will ride in honor of my first husband, Rick, who never met his grandchildren because of cancer.

I will ride in honor of friends who are battling cancer now, who are in remission, and who have already lost the battle. I will ride in honor of my sister, sister-in-law and coworkers present and past

I am riding because this is best way I can think of to offer my help and support to all the people past and present who have had to deal with this terrible disease.

I will be deeply grateful and humbled by any and all financial support you can offer toward my goal of raising $1,000.00. While my fund raising goals are far less than last years’ $4900.00, it doesn’t change the fact that I would like to raise as much as possible. What has changed is that my knees would be hard pressed to do the 192 miles I did last year. Many many thanks for your consideration.
