This year, my first year riding the PMC, is in honor of my friend Wendy Horn who passed away February 20th, 2025 after a TOUGH and courageous fight against pancreatic cancer. 

From the day I met Wendy she constantly talked about the PMC and how much she just KNEW I would love the ride and how great it was that this ride (190 miles in 2 days) was all in service of raising funds to find a cure.  Over the past 24 years she has personally helped raise over $215,000.  This would have been Wendy’s 25th year riding in the PMC and I wanted more than anything to ride it with her. Instead I will do my very first ride in memory of her and the absolutely amazing woman she was.  Also, in honor of Wendy, all funds I raise this year will go specifically to fighting pancreatic cancer. 

As a tribute to Wendy and how she approached each year, I I am coming out of the gates strong and hopeful with a goal of raising over $10,000. And every dollar counts! So I would love to ask, that even if all you can afford to donate is a dollar or two please do because it’s for a REALLY great cause and in honor of an even more amazing woman!

More about the PMC…
Since its founding in 1980, PMC riders like me have raised more than $1 billion for lifesaving cancer research, treatment and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, one of the country's top cancer care hospitals. The PMC is making a difference in the lives of patients at Dana-Farber and around the world. All funds raised go directly to support the innovative work of doctors, nurses, and scientists in their search for cures for cancers and related diseases.
100 percent of every dollar I raise goes directly to Dana-Farber, meaning that your donation has a real impact! Please donate to my PMC fundraising and help me reach my fundraising goal.
