This will now be my 7th PMC ride with Team LUNGSTRONG. Thank you all who have offered your continued support and encouragement.
The PMC is so much more than a bike ride.... It is life changing for those of us who ride, who volunteer and who cheer along the way! This ride really changes lives for those who are battling cancer. They are directly benefiting from the cutting edge cancer research being done at Dana Farber. With your generous support, Team LUNGSTRONG was able to donate over TWO MILLION DOLLARS towards research that is directly changing the lives of thousands of lung cancer patients.
This year I take to my bike and again will ride the 163-mile two-day trek from Wellesley to Provincetown! Please join me; you can ride alongside me with Team LUNGSTRONG or you can donate to this important cause.
Why I Ride...
I am riding...In memory of my father, Bruce Benson and my mother Shirley Benson both were tireless volunteers in their community of Lenox and feel that giving back is how we should all honor each other. I ride for them
With a heavy heart I add two more friends that I ride in memory of.
Betsy Watson and Bruce Abbey......
No words just heart broken.
I am riding... in memory of my Father in- law, Bill Irwin, my Uncle Larry Griffin and Fred Battistini who all put family first while being strong proponents for giving back to the communities that they loved.
I am riding... in celebration and support of my friends, Kim Dufour, Pam Reinhard, and Jane Stevens Warnock who continue to be warriors in this fight!
I am riding... with and for my friend Diane Legg founder along with her husband Dave of Team LUNGSTRONG. Diane is a 14-year lung cancer fighter who works tirelessly bringing a voice and action to increase awareness and raise funds for lung cancer research. We are riding with her!
You can help us be a part of the solution and help to raise funds so that the brilliant researchers that work toward a cure every day have the resources to succeed. 100% of your tax-deductible donation will go to The Lowe Center of Thoracic Oncology at Dana Farber.
