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.
Truthfully, it's difficult to capture the multitude of reason for riding......The pain of losing my Mother and Father to this dreadful desease lead me on the path to ride. I knew I had to participate for them and for anyone else who is fighting cancer. I feel blessed to be able to ride with my colleagues at LM and for our team who have stories of their own and we will together help raise money to find a cure.
My Mother was always my biggest supporter (next to my Father) my entire life. Losing her was like losing a part of myself. She dedicated her entire life helping people (nurse for drug & alcohol rehabilitation) and left a piece of herself in everyone she touched. She donated blood and platelets long before she was diagnosed, because she wanted to help make a difference in the cure for cancer. She had a smile that would light up a room and exuded warmth and kindness to all her friends and family. She cherished my dad and adored her children & grandchildren. We were loved each and every day.
While ultimately cancer took my Mother's life in August 2017 (and my fathers a few years later), she left a legacy of generosity, strength and grace beyond words. My Mother's strength will be my motivation as I ride this year and with each mile I pedal, PMC brings researchers closer to finding a cure.
I would be honored if you consider sponsoring me and will ride to honor your loved ones.
Together we can help find a cure.
