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 Diane Legg and Team LungStrong in August.

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 at Dana Farber. This year, I'm planning to ride in support of a friend who was diagnosed with cancer last year, and is no longer with us. I'm also continuing to ride and support Team LungStrong, which was formed by my sister-in -law, Diane Legg. Diane was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2004! She has since endured surgery and chemotherapy. 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 PMC rides and is about to ride in her 9th. She is living proof that research is making an impact on the lives of patients. 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: http://pmc.org/egifts/CV0040. I can also accept checks made payable to PMC.

Thanks, Chris
