In 2008, I started volunteering on PMC weekends and 4 years ago, I began riding the PMC, and this year, I have the opportunity to do both. PMC Reimagined allows me to create and ride my own route which allows me to volunteer at the Bourne finish PMC weekend

Over these many years, I have been able to see how important both roles are in making the weekend such a success. The cyclists ride many miles on this weekend, and every 20-25 miles there are water stops and lunch stops supported by volunteers, as well as road crews that travel along with the cyclists in case of maintenance issues or accidents. So along with the thousands of riders, there are thousands of volunteers...and we are all there for the same reason...to find a cure for cancer.

Cancer does not discriminate; my grandmother, sister, aunts, cousins, friends, co-workers, my father-in-law, sister-in-law, my nephew's wife, friend's family members, classmates...the list goes on and on and on. Fortunately, alot of them have been treated and have been able to move forward with their lives. Not all were that fortunate. So I will continue to support the PMC and Dana Farber in whatever way I can and again, I will ask for your support.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. We are getting Closer by the Mile!
