2020.Coroana. PMC reimagined. I know so many may not be working right now and may not be able to donate. But if you can, this is such a worthy cause. 

 I will be doing another virtual ride, I have done 2 now and I love this way to ride.  I will ride in honor of our mom Kathi as always. She allowed me the freedom to ride as a teen all over town, and I have never forgotten that. She died of lung cancer 28 years ago, in a time when there was no hospice or advances in research. I ride to help continue to fund new research to end this terrible disease

Another person I am riding in honor of is my friend Diane Legg who has been living with stage 4 lung cancer for many years now. She has done so much with her time here to bring awareness re: lung cancer to the forefront, helping to remove the stigma associated with this ever growing cancer diagnosis. She was a fighting force in getting legislation passed for high risk cat scan screenings (free) in Massachusetts to help in early diagnosis for lung cancer. She and her husband Dave created Team LUNGSTRONG who I am honored to be riding with again this year. Their team is dedicated to finding ways of thinking outside the box in research. I could go on forever about what an amazing inspiration Diane is to me!

So many are affected by cancer every day, I just want to do a little something to help the cause because I can, even though I am not riding as far or fast, I still can get on a bike and try to raise some money. All of your donations go directly to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute right here in Boston, specifically to the thoracic oncology area based on why I am riding. Any donation would be greatly accepted but I will take good vibes while I ride if you are unable to donate. Last year my donations went to help a team member meet their mininmum fundraising commitment, hoping to help another team mate again this year. 

Thanks so much! Love and peace to you all, stay healthy and safe!
