In my 8th year of riding in the PMC, I always ride in memory of my Dad, whom I miss terribly, who died from a very aggressive prostate cancer in 2011 at the age of 71. This year my wife Judy was diagnosed with DCIS (a very early stage breast cancer) and has been successfully treated, for which I am extremely thankful. Please get your yearly screenings!
I'm also riding in memory of my cousin Wayne Countryman who passed away from a very agressive lung cancer in 2020 as well as 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. In 2018, a tennis friend of mine, Bob Perin lost his battle with stomach/colon cancer which also motivates me to ride.

I'm riding the 50 mile route this year with my colleague Jack Cofer who recently retired from Dassault Systemes, and as always comitted to the PMC cause

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.
