"I am back in the saddle again!" PMC 2025 - Let's GO!!
On August 2nd and 3rd this summer, I will be doing the Pan Mass Challenge and riding again with Team CRUS11Tour. The ride I will be doing with Team CRUS11Tour is a 2-day 200 mile bike ride from Sturbridge, MA to Provincetown, MA. Team CRUS11Tour was formed in memory of Davey Hovey, who played lacrosse at Saint Lawrence University (and wore #11) and lost his battle with Glioblastoma at age 26. Our daughter Kate and husband Rich have become friends with Davey's brother Tommy, and his wife Lucie. I first did the PMC ride in 2018 in memory of my Aunt Patricia Mullins, my father-in-law George O'Brien, DDS and my wife Teresa's good friend and college roommate (Dee Galina). This year, I am adding Doug Robinson to the list, a family friend in Fairfield. All were taken by cancer, all at a way too young stage in life.
Simply put, the PMC weekend is an amazing experience. The camraderie, the support of the volunteers, and the graciousness of the spectators and communities along the ride is exceptional. The signs of thanks along the route provides all the motivation needed to get through any tough stretches.
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.
I am grateful for whatever donation you are comfortable with making. I have provided my Venmo account below (for pusposes of a corporate match of matching my fund raising.) Many thanks!
