I am on my 4th consecutive year being part of the PMC, and this year have teamed up with the Patriots Platelet Pedalers. We have over 150 teammates and fundraise for a specific doctor, Dr. Ken Anderson. Dr. Anderson serves as chief of the Division of Hematologic Neoplasia, director of the Jerome Lipper Multiple Myeloma Center, and vice chair of the Joint Program in Transfusion Medicine at Dana-Farber. Our fundraising advances his work toward finding a cure for cancer.

I dedicate my ride to my grandmother, Rita Ferguson, who was a great baker, seamstress, and all around important role model for me. Granny Ferguson fought battles with both breast cancer and bone cancer and passed away in February 1999.

Thank you for considering a donation to this worthy cause, I look forward to having you with me as I ride "closer by the mile" toward a cure for cancer.
