While it was not my intention to do so, and despite everyone else knowing I would wind up a liar, I have in fact lied to all of you that visited my PMC page last year and so generously donated to my ride.

I claimed that I would only do the PMC for one year, but after my experience during my first ride it was simply impossible not to sign up again. There was rain and sun, laughs and a few tears, big hills and sore feet and one constant sight...that of my amazing friend in front of me for the entire 2 day ride pedaling through the challenges, laughing and singing at times and never ceasing to inspire all that know her story.

So I ask you, if you were me, how could you not sign up again? Once again though the ticket price to this great event is high and I need your help. I am committed to raising $5000 dollars this year and I know with the help of my friends and family I will be able to achieve this goal.

For anyone affected by cancer, and honestly I don't know a single person that has not been impacted somehow by this terrible disease, this ride is a game changer. $57 million dollars was raised last year. Every single penny goes to finding a cure for cancer. Could any kind of investment be more important?

Both of my parents have been diagnosed with cancer. My mother has lung cancer and my father prostate cancer and fortunately for us they are both doing well. Both of Wes's parents were also touched by cancer and while Wes's father's prostate cancer was successfully treated and he is doing fantastic, Wes's Mom passed away 2 years ago from brain cancer. We both have very good friends who are living with cancer and know countless friends that have had people close to them die or continue to struggle with the fight against cancer.

It is time to put a stop to this and the only way is through research and the only way research gets done is through funding. Please help me raise funds to fight this awful disease that seems to touch just about everyone. Any amount will make a difference and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to read my page.

And did I mention that I had so much fun? One of the best bike rides I've taken, certainly the most singing while riding I've ever done and to cap it off definitely the best floating dance party I ever had the privilege to attend. Fundraising and do gooding has never been such a blast.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to read my page and I thank you for your support.

Love, Sarah
