In 1997 I rode my first PMC because my boss told me to (thanks Doug!). I have ridden 24 more since then because there is no better cause worth me sweating and you donating! Over those 25 rides, donors have helped me raise over $200,000 for Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Thank you Donors!
I dedicate my 26th ride to the memory of Joel Farr. He was a stalwart donor for decades, a family man to the core, and a friend forever. I'll ride with your spirit right next to me Joel.
Every year I tell of the power of donating to the PMC by sharing stories of riding a hundred miles a day next to cancer survivors. I tell of pedaling past signs that read Thank you for sending my Mommy home! or I am 8 years old because of you. There is no end to the inspiration that comes from riding for, and donating to, the fight against cancer. For year 26, I am returning the Wellesley to Bourne, Bourne to Province Town route. Think of 175 miles when you click on donate below!! And remember 100% of your donation goes straight to the doctors, nurses, and scientists finding cures and treating those fighting cancer.
I am pleased to repeat my annual donation of $100 for every year of riding - because this is a cause I believe in. I would really appreciate, and cancer patients everywhere would really appreciate, you digging deep to give that extra amount. I thought of all my donors as they took the living proof photo on Saturday - these are riders riding 100's of miles after kicking cancer. Seeing those riders posing for that picture is a goosebumps moment; a moment that you and I madepossible. Thank you for donating!
