For the past 13 years I have volunteered at the Lunch Spot in Dighton, Ma, but this year I'm hanging up my apron and getting on the bike. I finally developed the courage to ride this year. Cancer really hit home in the summer of 2020 when my grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 Ureteral cancer. She is undergoing treatment at DFCI and feeling great. Big thank you to the staff on Yawkee 11 and Dr. Sonpavde.

I can't wait to ride along side my family, friends, coworkers, and patients. I want to give the biggest shout out to my awesome supporters at Commerce Insurance. Without your kindness and generosity I wouldn't have the privilege or opportunity to participate in the ride. A big thank you to Tanya and Alicia for being so selfless.

I have been 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. Working at Dana Farber I see first hand how each donation/contribution helps all patients and their caregivers.

Thank you all for your donations. God bless you and your families.

Sincerely,

Melissa Hohos RN
