PMC 2022: Committed to the battle against Cancer!!!
I very much hope that all is well with all of you, your families and love ones!
I have signed up again in 2022 to raise funds for the cause and to ride the PMC, my 6th year. Please, as you we move through 2022, please think about donating at some point during the year (again or for the first time) and to the work being done to stop Cancer. My goal is $10,000+ again this year. I would be extremely grateful for your support.
One donation at a time... one donation at a time... Your donation counts!!!
Our family received official word from Maria's oncologist just prior to this past Thanksgiving '21, one year from her initial diagnosis with Lymphoma, that she has reached REMISSION. We are unbelievably GRATEFUL that she was able to reach this point and for the doctors, nurses, medicine(s), research, *your donations*, etc., etc. etc. that made that happen. It was not an easy path (and COVID made it, like so many other things, more difficult) but it was a path. Maria's form of Cancer is considered chronic, but treatable. It will most likely return. There are still many types of Cancer that do not have paths to remission or the odds of remission are not good at all. The battle is very much still under way.
Again, I raise funds / ride in honor of Maria - a survivor. Also, this past year I lost a swim friend [Diane Copenhaver] and one of my fellow PMC riders/friend lost his wife [Ebit Speers] after a 30 year battle. I also ride in memory of -- my father, Lesley Andrews (a very good college friend we lost over 25 years ago - way, way too young), Ann Brochu (Maria's Aunt) and many many others - **too many**.
One mile at a time!
Best,
Paul
