I believe in the PMC because it supports one of the top three cancer research facilities in the country, 100% of every rider raised dollar goes to the cause (none of your donated money goes to administrative costs), it's local to New England, the extra money raised supports the best scientists for research, it's the largest sports related fund raising event for cancer research/care in the USA, too many of my favorite patrons on the F/V Bunny Clark have succumbed to the disease and, in 2007, I just thought that it was time I got off my ass and did something about it. I've been cycling in this event ever since. During the middle of the 2016 fund raising season I reached a ten year total of a quarter of a million dollars in donations. I'm a life long endurance athlete who owns and manages Bunny Clark Deep Sea Fishing and Barnacle Billy's restaurants out of Perkins Cove, Ogunquit, Maine. Many of my restaurant patrons and angling guests support me in this endeavor. Thank you in advance!
