I will be riding my 14th PMC this coming August.   Little did I know back in 2012 that I would still be involved in this amazing event into my early 70s.    As I have said to others, as long as I can ride, I will continue to do this event.     The lives that we potentially change with the money raised, keeps me invested.    The camraderie, my team (Brooklyn Love), weather (good and bad) volunteers, and of course Billy Starr keep me coming back year after year.   

With uncertain times in DC, this event has become even more important.   It is likely that there will be reduced funding for institutions like Dana Farber, and because of that, the PMC becomes even more important.    Even in the 14 years I have been riding there have been amazing advances in the care and treatment of cancers, especially Pediatric Cancers.   

I hope that my "sponsors" will continue to support me.    I am only a small cog (no pun intended) in this amazing event.   But hopefully all of you can help bring a cure to cancer "closer by the mile"
