To celebrate a mileston birthday, I've set a milestone goal: the 2-day PMC!
I'll ride 100% further than my previous years, more than 160 miles in all.
To do that, I need to raise 50% more than previous years.
I'll ride again in memory of Jacob Rosen, a bright, talented, caring young man who was taken from his family and friends by cancer much too early in his promising life.
I'll also ride with my brother in my heart. He died last summer before I was ready to say goodbye.
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. And because it celebrates what's possible in the cure for canacer.
