I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.
At Gordon Food Service in Taunton Mass, I belong to a committee called the Heart to Serve. We as a committee helped raise money for the PMC for over 5 years .
In 2011 I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer . It was a rough year with lots of doctor appointments and treatments. I made it through with the help and support of my husband , family and friends. I am now cancer free and have been for 5 years. My Father-in law, Eduardo Soares, is also a colon cancer survivor for almost 5 years. My friends Maya ( 1 yrs old ), and Jonathan ( 36yrs ) continue there fight with cancer, and Jeannette Smith who passed away with Breast cancer 4 years ago.
A story about a Brave Little Boy named Connor ! xoxo
Connor Blaney, age 8, was experiencing trouble sleeping and loss of appetite in June 2015 when his parents took him to see his pediatrician. After initial testing which did not reveal much, Connor’s symptoms persisted and his pediatrician ordered an ultrasound. The ultrasound indicated there were masses in both kidneys as well as on lymph nodes in the abdominal area. Connor was diagnosed with bilateral Wilms Tumor on July 3, 2015. On July 4th, he had a port-a-cath surgically implanted and chemotherapy began. He recently underwent a very complicated, but successful surgery in September and has completed radiation therapy as well as subsequent intensive chemotherapy.
Fortunately, with the right treatment, Wilms tumor is highly treatable. Wilms tumor can occur at any age between infancy and age 15, but is most common in children age 5 or younger. Connor continues to amaze those around him with his strength and perseverance.
Connor is currently in the 2nd grade and is a fan of all the Boston sports teams. His interests include playing soccer, legos, outdoor sports and playing with his friends and 2 year old brother, Tyler. Connor is the superhero behind “Team Connor”, a group of family, friends and community members that quickly embraced Connor and his family as they embarked on this journey. The Blaney Family is very grateful for the support of Team Connor and the amazing team of Medical Professionals at Children’s Hospital and Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
Even though my father-in-law , I won our battles with cancer, Conner remains hopeful to be cancer free in a few weeks .There are many people who continue to battle everyday,my thoughts and Prayers go out to all the families who have suffered through this horrible disease. Please come Support this amazing event.
