Hello Family and Friends,
First, thank you to all of you who donated to my rides over the last few years. This year due to some conflicts I was unable to ride in the PMC but I signed up as a "Virtual Rider". What that means is I'm forgoing the 180 miles of torture this year but am committed to the cause and wanted to continue to fundraise for the cause. As many of you know, the Challenge raises money for Life Saving Cancer Research at the world renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
When I realized that I couldn’t ride this year it was bitter sweet. It’s something that believe it or not have grown to really enjoy but the idea of not sitting on that bike seat for 180 miles was a bit of a relief. I wouldn’t have dreamed I would miss it as much as I did. As the date got closer and getting pics of The Bikers Dozen and Team Ellie getting ready to take off I was really regretting missing the chance to ride for such a great cause. I will definitely be riding next year and hopefully many years to come.
With that said, I hope that with the help of generous people like yourselves, I can help put an end to pediatric cancers. Over the last two rides I was lucky enough to raise over $30,000.00 and our team has raised over $2,000,000.00 in the fight against this horrible disease.
I have lowered my goal to $5,000.00 this year as I don’t expect as big a gift without the pain and suffering but I firmly believe in the cause and want to make it a habit of giving.
