I am excited to be riding my first Pan Mass this summer with Team Brentwheels!  Dana and Mike McCreesh started TeamBrent in 2004, after their then two-year-old son Brent was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma.  Brent has been cancer free since 2005 and is now living the normal life of an eight year old. 

I first met the McCreesh family two summers ago, when I was a camp counselor for their youngest daughter, Kira.  I was shocked when I found out that Brent was a cancer survivor, and I was truly inspired when I learned about TeamBrent and all the McCreeshes have done.  This past fall I spent my Wednesday afternoons babysitting the McCreesh kids: taking Brent and his sisters to practices and play dates and playing endless games of Uno with them each week.  As I learned about what they went through when Brent was sick, I knew that I wanted to do something more to help. Every cent of PMC donations go to Dana-Farber; however, the funds donated to Team Brentwheels will go directly towards fighting neuroblastoma, the cancer Brent had, at Dana- Farber. I’m excited to be riding the Pan Mass with Team Brentwheels, and I hope that you will donate to my ride so that no more families have to go through what the McCreeshes did.
