Paul Mullaney's PMC

Every rider of the PMC has a story of why they ride. Mine is similar to many others in that I lost my life partner and soul mate, Nancy to this insidious disease in April of 2018. Her compromised quality of life and chronic pain was difficult to witness for the two years she fought the battle. Whatever I can do to memorialize her memory is reason enough to take on this task.

PMC 2022 is my fourth year of participation. Every year has been a different route. The first year was the 192 mile two day jaunt from Sturbridge to PTown. Second year because of Covid, the PMC Reimagined was a, "Trip Down Memory Lane." My daughter Kristen and I started where I grew up in West Roxbury. We rode to Dorchester by Nancy's house, our first apartment, and St. Brendan's Church where we were married. We continued onto Bridgewater where we raised our children, stopped to see from very generous donors, and visited Nancy's grave. We continued on to Kristen's house in Middleboro to celebrate. Last year Kristen and I decided to do the inaugural 100 Mile Century Ride from Babson south to Dighton and back to Babson. For personal reasons, Kristen has decided not to ride this year, but her dedicated support to my ride and this cause continues to be an inspiration. This year I will be riding Cape Cod Route from Bourne to Provincetown with Cheri Reed Mullaney (My nephew's wife) and my very good friend Tom Arrighi. I will also be riding in memory of one of my best friends. Bill Sullivan also passed away from this insidious disease on December 31, 2020.

Prior to my participation in the PMC, I never seriously rode a bike since I had a paper route in Junior High, (and Sully loved to tell the story of my brother's German Sheperard trying to bite him while delivering the West Roxbury Transcript). The training is sometimes grueling and overwhelming, but it s worth every moment when you experience the event and see the good that comes of it. The word cult always sems to have a negative connotation, but the PMC cult is the most positive inspirational event I have ever experienced. Another inspiration is my children. They have supported me and this effort each in their own way. I am eternally grateful to them and all who have reached deep to support this cause.
