After a 10 year break I'M BACK for my 4th PMC ride. Before I tell you why I'm riding and what truly got me back in the saddle, let me explain why I stopped riding... the simple answer is life. I was living it! Got married, renovated a house, had three kids. A few months ago, that life was ROCKED when we all got news that our dearest friend's four year old son Owen was diagnosed with B-Cell ALL Leukemia. I once described Owen as a “non-nephew nephew” but in reality, he is actually so much more than that. When the dust settled and Owen's treatment plan was laid out and I heard the words Jimmy Fund I knew exactly what I could do. I would come out of rider retirement. I would stop feeling like I couldn't help and I would find a positive because that is what Owen has done. He has made lemonade with these lemons. He is a light even in the clouds. We have seen firsthand what the lifesaving treatments can and will do for Owen and other people like him. I ask you to help me reach my fundraising goal of which 100% of goes directly to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. I'm riding the PMC for Owen Noonan and for all those who are battling cancer like him because even when you feel helpless, there is always something you can do.
