As always I'd like to start by thanking all of you for helping raise record cancer research funds last year. The PMC his $1 BILLION dollars since 1980 from riders like me. Together we did an amazing job and are back again this year to do it again. Team Hope will do the Sturbridge to PTown 192 mile PMC ride together for cancer research for the last year. The route will change next year.

Cancer sucks, is heartless, and difficult for all who have or had it, and those around them. As we come into this year's ride, your support means even more to the PMC's efforts with Dana Farber and their privately funded cancer research programs.

I ask you to support me another year to help those working on a cure in honor and memory of family and friends. I'll ride again in memory of both my in-laws Peter and Christine Karavites, cousin Michael Micalizzi, my Nonno Micalizzi, Nonna Oliveri, my aunt Marie McClanahan and uncle Mac, cousin Annie Innis, cousin Deano Chonis, our late Captain Andy E, Al Freeman, Dr. Bob, Maxie Goode, Sue P and others we've lost fighting their battles with cancer.
I'm also

riding in honor of those who've beat down their illnesses and are cancer survivors still with us today. My mother Carol, Rina D., Uncle Michael, Aunt Jackie, Cousin Denise, Cousin Julianne, Cousin John Innis, Fraternity brother Wayne Lamkay, colleague Matt Trescot and many others. (Let me know if you there is anyone else I misssed or you'd like me to add here!!)

It's the same ask as always - Donate today!

If you can make contribution to support the PMC, every dollar gets us closer to finding a cure and saving countless lives from cancer. Thank you in advance for anything you are able to do. The team will do the traditional 192 mile PMC ride knowing we have your support each mile. We all look forward to a unified ride from Sturbridge this year and until then, thank you for your support.

My best,

-Dave
