I hope this note finds you well and that you are enjoying a great beginning to the summer! We've certainly had some hot weather to date!
I'm a little late getting my email out this year. Apologies for that.
With that said, I have been training which is going well, but you never really know how ready you are until PMC Weekend!
As you know all too well, I ride for my beautiful bride, Chrissy. It is so hard to believe that this past Monday was the third anniversary of her passing. Meagan and I had a quiet dinner that night reminiscing about her wonderful mother.
I was also fortunate to spend time with Tommy in Florida last week, and we did the same thing. We miss her so much but being a part of the PMC each year (this will be my 8th) gives a real sense of purpose supporting Dana Farber and the amazing people that support patients each and every day.
It is truly an amazing place and Chrissy would be proud to know that we continue to support their work.
If you are not aware, the PMC raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country, $972 million since 1980 and $72 million in 2023 alone! This success is the result of a lot of people riding for, and caring about, a cure. And because every penny matters, 100 percent of your donation goes to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
I've made a personal commitment to ride PMC 2024 and raise $10,000.00. I hope you can help me achieve this significant goal.
I look forward to sending you a card after the PMC to recap how things went!
Wish me luck and also think good thoughts for great weather! Two years ago we averaged 95 degrees each day and that was NOT fun to ride in.
Be well, and thank you again for consdiering donating to my ride this year. Every dollar counts.
All my best,
Chris
