I ride for my cousin Mila who is now cancer free thanks to the excellent care of Dana Farber and the Jimmy Fund and a lot of prayer. She was diagnosed with Leukemia B-Cell ALL in April of 2017, just weeks prior to her 3rd birthday. Mila is now a healthy happy soon-to-be fourth grader. She has taken up playing basketball and cheerleading. We even got to go see Taylor Swift in May! Most importantly she is still cancer free--thanks to your generosity and the great care provided by the Jimmy Fund and Dana Faber!

I also ride because I lost my Father, Thomas W. Hart on February 7, 2018. Although he died from a Stroke, he valiantly battled prostate cancer in his later years.

This year I’m doing the 50 mile trek leaving from Wellesley down to Gillette and back. Like last year I have joined a team of friends called Team Crank. They are helping me train and we have secured a sponsor that will match our fundraising efforts up to $150,000.

I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. Although each year I ride, I say that's my last PMC but every year there's a new group of friends and family that are dealing with cancer many of which are being expertly treated by Dana Faber. So we are closer by the Mile but we still have miles to go!
