Im a proud supporter of the PMC because it is a leading force in the fight against cancer. 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institutes tireless commitment to finding a cure. After many years of riding the Suffield PMC kids ride, I took on the challenge of the official 192 mile ride. It was an incredible experience that has brought me back for more each year. I am honored to be riding for team Stirling Strong, a young woman who passed away early on from bone cancer, but rode the PMC through her fight with a smile the whole way. I am also riding in memory of my grandmother, Maria Rosa (aka Ati), who survived breast cancer and soon later passed away from lung cancer. I wish I was able to spend more time with her but I know shes watched over me through this journey. Thank you to Meghan Morin and my fellow teammates for encouraging me through my starting years. Thank you to my uncle Christos Nikolis and aunt Denise for inspiring me to take on this challenge. And finally thank you to my dad who's been my partner in crime the whole way through. Cant wait to ride again this year and many years to come, hope you can help me to make a difference. Every dollar counts, closer by the mile <3
