I'm riding in memory of my Dad, whom I miss terribly, who died from a very aggressive prostate cancer in 2011 at the age of 71.
I'm also riding in memory of my cousin Christina Tina Countryman who passed away in January 2015 from Multiple Myeloma which is a relatively rare cancer that develops in the bone marrow. I also ride for my cousin Rob Cupolo who passed away from a rare form of cancer in 2007. Also in 2016 my wife's cousin April, lost her 10 year battle with Leukemia. Earlier this year, a tennis friend of mine, Bob Perin lost his battle with stomach/colon cancer.

I'm riding the 87 mile route this year with some of my colleagues from Dassault Systemes.

I'm excited to be part of the PMC and thank you for any donation you might be able to give.

In fact, last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.
