This year will be my 13th PMC...one of my favorite weekends of the year! Thirteen years ago when I rode in my first PMC, I thought it was just going to be a one time thing! It's become a very special weekend and one that I look forward to every year! Last year's Re-Imagined PMC was different but the cause still incredibly important!!  This I will ride day one with Diane and other members of Team LUNGSTRONG from Wellesely (a first for me!) to Dennis and on day two, from Dennis to P-town & back to Dennis!  Not the traditional PMC that we all are used too, but at least it's a resemblence of what we are used too!!

And although "different", why I ride has not changed, in fact I feel more urgency now more than ever.  Last August, after 16 years of fighting lung cancer, through sugery and 3 different lines of treatment (which included 2 clinical trials), Diane's lung cancer spread to her brain.  She is now on a 4th line of treatment, that is keeping the cancer at bay, but we all know it's just a matter of time before the cancer changes again.

100% of all the money raised goes to Dana Farber Cancer Institute where 100% of the money that Team LUNGSTRONG raises goes towards Lung Cancer Research, under the direction of Dr. Pasi Janne, at Dana Farber. Dana Farber has been leading the way in lung cancer research and I hope that some day soon they will be able find a cure or at the very least make it a treatable disease that is no longer fatal.

There has been more progress in lung cancer research in the past 5 years than there has been in the last 30 years. We are blessed to live so close to Boston and to have this kind of care accessible to Diane. I am excited to be part of a team that will continue to support this critical work, giving us the hope that we need.

Thank you for your support,
