Pan Mass Challenge Year 3.

I am riding again because there are those who cannot ride. I am riding for those who are currently fighting the good fight today, I am riding for those who have won their fight, and I am riding for those whose fight has ended. I still love football Hall of Famer Jim Kelly’s quote, “Make a difference today for someone who is fighting for their tomorrow. That is why I ride.

Last year I asked for names from all donors that I could ride in honor of, in support of, and in memory of. I received 84 names; I made index cards and carried those names with me for my entire ride in my jersey pockets. They inspired me throughout the weekend ride. THANK YOU. Better than that, after I sent the cards to the donors, I received so many amazing stories about how those cards had made an impact on their lives.

So again this year, I am asking the same of all donors to please provide me with the names of friends and family members that I would be honored to ride for again. I will be riding in memory of my father, Dick (Pop), who passed from pancreatic cancer and in memory of my mother Terry (Grammie), who was a breast cancer survivor.

I will be riding once again with my brother-in-law, Dennis Kirrane, (our 3rd year together, his 11th year riding), where we both love to get to meet and socialize with so many other amazing riders.

So please support my ride, OUR ride this year, as we get closer by the mile. THANK YOU & GOD BLESS.
