This is my 3rd year as a PMC rider after being a volunteer for 11 years. I ride because I can. I am very fortunate that I have the good health and the ability to ride a bike. I know, and you know, so many people who have been diagnosed with cancer. Some have been fortunate; they have been treated and have moved forward with their life. Others were not so lucky. I ride for them...all of them. For their families who have stood by them during their treatments and for their friends who offer emotional support. Cancer affects not only the patient, but those who love them. Over the past year, there have been several people very close to my heart who have been treated for cancer; they are the lucky ones who have been treated and are moving forward. I hope that my small part, with your support, will allow so many others to be treated.
