This year I will be participating in my 4th PMC with my company riding team - Team Bay State Physical Therapy!

This year we have extra special motivation for our ride and fundraising with the match of two PMC Pedal Partners! The Pedal Partner Program offers an inspiring opportunity for pediatric oncologist patients at Dana-Farber to connect with PMC riders cycling and raising funds for cancer research and treatment in their honor. This year we are honored to have Celia Jan as our Pedal Partner for Year 2! Celia is a very sweet and active soon t be 6-year-old who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in October 2020. Celia is very special to our team, as she is currently receiving physical therapy treatment in our Braintree office by my dear friend and roommate, Lexi Windwer! We have also been matched with Matilda Keinath, daughter of two of our BSPT riding team members, who is recieving treatment through the Jimmy Fund.

Our teams goal is to raise over $60,000 that will go towards cancer research for Acute Lymphoblastic Luekemia as well as towards a close friend and teammate's sisters fund, the Andrea Gaziano Fund through The Dana Farber Cancer Institute, helping fund research for Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Please consider donating to help support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.

MY PMC TIMELINE

2023 - Year 4 - This year our team has grown to 11 riders comprising of BSPT employees, family and friends riding various routes on PMC weekend. I will be riding the 50 mile Wellesley Route on Sunday August 6th.

2022 - Year 3 - #PMCRound3 - This year was extra special with the match of our Pedal Partner, Celia! We had fun times with Celia, attending her birthday party, bike riding on Castle Island, and even having a Moana movie night the night before PMC! Our team of 7 riders completed the Wellesley 50 mile route and raised $41,766.86 for cancer research at DFCI and the Jimmy Fund.

2021 - Year 2 - Hybrid ride consisting of a 75 mile reimagined ride on Saturday, August 7th and the PMC Wellesley century ride on Sunday, August 8th, totaling 175 miles for the weekend and raising $58,434, contributing to PMCs record breaking donation of $64 million

2020 - Year 1 - During the pandemic, the original PMC was cancelled and reimagined. My team created our own #PMCreimagined route, consisting of a century loop around the South Shore of MA, stopping at a number of our clinics for stretching and refueling. At around mile 90 of our 100 mile trek, our team - accompanied by 1st responders and dozens of cars decorated by friends and family - particated in a parade for our Pedal Partner. PMC 2020 was truly an unforgettable weekend and one that I will cherish forever. My team was able to raise $52,446 for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
