2019 is a banner year for Team Big Jon as we look to eclispse $2 million raised over the past 11 years. Quite an accomplishment.
Unfortunately our work is not done as cancer still effects us, our friends, our families and loved ones.
Why do I ride? Simple, Jon Weiss was like you and me. A family man, a loving husband and father who for some terrible reason was struck early in life with kidney cancer. .
This year marks the 40th anniversary for the Pan Mass Challenge. The ride has raised nearly $750 million for the Jimmy Fund and Dana Farber. It would be great not to ride and train for this 200 mile event in August, but until we can declare victory against cancer, we keep on pedaling.
Additionally, this year we are sponsoring a pedal partner, 5 year old Sean MacDonnell, who is fighting a rare form of cancer. We look forward to supporting Sean and his parents with this year's ride.
Big Jon, I miss you my friend. Your big grin, floppy ears and love for Marcy, Jordan and Truly are with me all the time!
