PMC- 2019! I am STILL blown away by your continued generosity and support. Despite some injury issues that I'm working through, I'm planning on giving it another go with my sister-in-law and her buds in August.

Hoepfully, this will be my 10th consecutive PMC ride. This event involves cycling across Massachusetts during the 1st weekend in August to raise money for lung cancer research and treatment. This year, I'm planning to ride in support of a friend who has diagnosed last year and is in a real battle now battle now. I'm hoping to be able to ride again for TEAM LungStrong, which was formed by my sister-in -law, Diane Legg. She and her husband, Dave, are raising 3 active and wonderful boys. Diane was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2004! She has since endured surgery and chemotherapy. The survival rate for lung cancer cases post-diagnosis is usually about 2 years. Against all odds, she is still with us and doing well. She is currently diagnosed as Stage IV. Despite the recurrence of her cancer, she has ridden and completed 8 events and is about to ride in her 9th. She is  "living proof" that reasech and hope can keep you going. She has been very involved, at both the local and national levels, in raising awareness about this terrible disease. Lung cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US. To get lung cancer, all you need is to have lungs.

Every dollar that we raise through our effort on our bikes will go to lung cancer-specific research at Dana Farber Cancer Institute . Please consider supporting my ride. Donations can be made on line at: www.pmc.org/egifts/CV0040. I can also accept checks made payable yo "PMC".

Thanks, Chris
