Dear Friends, I will be riding my bike 192 miles in the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge (PMC). I will be leaving Sturbridge, MA at 5:00 AM on Saturday August 4, 2012 and I WILL arrive in Bourne, MA where I will spend the night. On Sunday August 5, 2012 at 4:30 am I will depart Bourne,MA and I WILL arrive in Provincetown, MA later that morning. This year, I go to the starting line with an emotional commitment to ride in honor of my good friend and personal trainer extraordinaire- Gillian. As a way for her to stay connected to the profession she loves as she "gears up" to go FULL FORCE against her cancer by going through chemo she is going to train me. Please join Gillian and me on the ride of our lives by joining Team Gillian on Facebook and watching for updates as she trains me in such things as acting like a dolphin, mermaid and various other animals all of which have value in preparing the body for bike riding 192 miles.
Participating in the PMC is a way for Gillian and me to channel physical, mental and emotional energy into something much greater than ourselves. We are going to use that strength to help those who cannot ride. With each mile pedaled, the PMC brings researchers closer to finding cures for the various types of cancer that affect millions of people each year. Team Gillian and I are small part of a larger unified force working toward a common goal. Please help me reach my goal of raising $4,300 by making a secure tax deductable contribution to my PMC account. Simply, go to PMC.ORG click on egift and type in my last name "MONSEGLIO" and follow the on screen instructions. In return, you become part of an extended family that helps others who may not be able to help themselves.

Thank you for your help and support,

Anna Marie Monseglio
