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.

So many of us have been impacted by Cancer--whether having lost a family member, a friend or a mentor to the disease. I am doing this in memory of my mom, who passed away in 1976, and for Eileen Kennedy, the wife of my good fried Geoff Kennedy who passed away in 2018. I am also riding for survivors this year including Elizabeth Simmons, my sister, and for my Mother-in-Law, Bethel Charkoudian who is currently battling brain cancer.

I invite you to make this a meaningful event, and to contribute to those that are working hard to defeat Cancer!
