Thanks to all of my supporters last year for my second PMC. I was inpsired to have an amazing ride and am training already for my third. I'll ride again in memory of Jacob Rosen, a bright, talented, witty young man who was taken from his family and friends by cancer much too early in life.

And because of their great support, I'll ride again with Team Perry to support the Perry S. Levy Gastrointestinal Fellowship (established in memory of our team captain's first husband who died in 1999 at the age of 32). The fund supports a named Fellow at Dana Farber working in the GI field. We also support cutting edge research projects that allow these fellows to apply for national grants once they have some data to prove out the work they are doing! The team has already raised $1 million!

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.
