Alex Dorfman's PMC

I joined this fight four years ago but 2021 marks the first year I will be riding the PMC in memory of my sister-in-law, Erika, who died from cancer in August of 2020 only a few weeks after last years ride. Fellow PMC riders often say that the ride becomes more and more personal each year. This year I can confirm, painfully so. Now more than ever, I remain committed to doing my part and this August I will still ride 200 miles in the fight against cancer.

The fight against cancer doesn’t stop and I appreciate your continued support of my commitment and efforts.

This year I am also incredibly proud to share the news that my father, Gerald Dorfman, will be riding in the PMC and taking an active part in helping make change for tomorrow. Together with my son who participated in the 2019 PMC Kids Ride, we now make up three generations of PMC riders taking an active role in this battle and I could not be more honored.

This is my attempt to make a difference and I’m asking you to help make change with me. It's an intimidating ride, but I'm ready to pedal and I will ride even stronger if I know you've got my back. Let's make change together.

I ride with purpose. I ride for progress. I ride for change. I ride in memory of loved ones who were strong but lost their battles. I ride in honor of survivors and those who are still fighting. I ride in hope of building a better tomorrow. I ride because I love, because I live, and because I can. I ride for Erika.

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.
