I did my first,192mi/2 day ride from Sturbridge to Provincetow with the Pan Mass challenge in 1999.
My participation started because I wanted to be able to do something that would help my family and others who were gong thru cancer treatments. I was so impressed with the Organization, spirit and people that I met, that i have participated and contributed ever since. I was also impressed by how many of us have been affected by Cancer.

The PMC is set up , so that 100% of the dollars donated go to the Charity!! the other costs...Administration,etc are cover by Corporate Sponsors.

I have been and continue to be, involved in other Charities and events. I have never seen anything that has such a spirit, camraderie and commitment ,which brings people back year after year to Participate , and help in this worthy cause.

I found out in 2019 that I had NSC Lung cancer..I immediately called the PMC and asked their advice and help in contacting the right group and they were terrific in helping me navigate the health care system. I am now a Patient and living proof rider  for Team Lung strong. I appreciate the opportunity to not only help others but My family as well! I look forward to what our dollars raised will do for others in the future.
