In 2006 my Father and my Uncle John began riding in the PMC to help raise money for cancer research.   Their commitment to this great cause started a family tradition and I began taking an active part of the PMC myself.  I partcipated in my first PMC kids ride in the summer of 2006.  I was 3 years old.

Each year my Dad would encourge me to keep riding and being part of this great event.  Over the years I learned more about what the PMC was about and the importance of helping in the fight against cancer.  As each summer approached I would look forward to being part of the PMC.

Like many other families, mine was also impacted by cancer.  My Nana Corcoran was diagnosed with cancer and sadly died of the disease in 2014.  She was very funny and nice to me.  I miss her always.

From 2006-2015 I rode in the PMC kids ride and as I grew older my Dad told me that one day I would ride the big PMC 192 mile, 2 day ride with him.  Well 192 mile ride still seems a bit crazy but now that I am 15 years old, I am ready to take the next step in my PMC journey.  This August I will be riding in the 1-day 50 mile ride with my Uncle John by my side.   

My ride will be in honor of my Nana Corcoran
