I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat all types of Cancer. For those that know me, You know that this will be a tough and grueling 190 mile bike ride for me over 2 days but I will survive for this incredible cause.  The great news,  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.

I am riding becauase I can, and for those that cannot , that truly need my help and a reason to fight !!  I could not sit by the sidelines any longer while I watch  friends, family and acquaintenaces fighting, suffering and even dying. My breaking point came when a good friend out of nowhere came down with a rare blood cancer and is fighting with the heart of a lion, keeps a smile always, no matter what the pain and now stem cell transplant treatment is going to save his life !! 

 As I write this, I thnk of another friend fighting for his life against lucemia, a colleague winning the battle against breast cancer, another fighting brain cancer with new experimental treatments, and this week my best friend's brother was diagnosed with Prostate cancer.

Enough is enough, I am now an active supporter of  2 great organizations that are finding cures and bringing miracles,  City of Hope/Calif. and the Pan - Mass Challenge for Dana -Farber.

I hope that you will all join me in my misison to support this incredible cause and say a prayer for those that need us most .   And for thos ethat know me well, I will complete the 190 mile challenge no matter how long it takes me.

God Bless, Bob
