Hi Friends!
This year I'll be participating in PMC as a Reimagined rider. I've committed to doing 100 miles from Lenox, MA to Sturbridge, MA in what is known by many PMC riders as Day 0 which includes around 4,500 + elevation gain. I'll be riding on Friday, August 2nd, the day before PMC Weekend.
This year my fundraising will go directly towards the Brain Tumor Center at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in honor of Adelia the Wonder Girl, our Forza-G Pedal Partner who sadly lost her battle with brain cancer this past May at 7 years old. Read more below from her parents on the beautiful spirit that was Adelia. My heart aches for the kids and parents and families who have to go through this journey. With your support we can help make big strides with research for brain cancer which is the leading cause of cancer death for children and adults under 40.
"Adelia was a bright light in the world, and her presence will be forever felt. I pray that the gaping hole in my heart will be filled with her strength to carry on in her honor. The absence of her sparkling eyes, her quick wit, the sound of her laughter, and her curiosity for life will be missed every single second of every single day. Not having the ability to kiss her delicious cheeks everyday and hold her hand are things that I will be forever grasping for. I know that Adelia will guide us with her strength, resilience, and attitude to help us live meaningful lives in her honor." - Adelia's Family
Friday, I'll ride for Adelia and so many others battling brain cancer.
Every year I continued to be inspired by the living proof riders (including many of my Forza-G teammates) as well as so many who have or are currently battling cancer.
A friend, a friend's wife, a friend's sister, a neighborhood family's child, my dad's childhood friend, a friend I met via Instagram, cancer has impacted so many we know. But together we can kick cancer's butt by continuing to fund critical research to find a cure. With your donation we can truly make an impact and get closer by the mile. Thank you for you continued support and help throughout the years, it makes a difference.
MORE ON THE PMC:
The PMC contributes 100% of all rider raised revenue directly to the Dana-Farber where it's largely spent on innovative, cancer-fighting R&D efforts that would otherwise go unfunded. Over 280,000 supporters contribute to the PMC’s gift annually making up more than 60% of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue. 100% of every rider-raised dollar goes directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Thank you as always for your support. It is greatly appreciated!
