Cancer has been a disease that I became aware of in elementary school. I began supporting the PMC with annual sponsoring of a colleague and volunteering at 3 am in Sturbridge. The energy and passion for the cause was absolutely contagious! I continue to volunteer and also have completed the full 2 day ride and a few single day rides. I am back training and signed up to complete this year the route from 2020! It will be 13 years since my father lost his battle with cancer. I will ride for him as well as friends and family that have battled cancer over the years.  Most recently my cousin lost both her sisters to pancreatic cancer within 6 months of each other.  Their grace when faced with their diagnosis and unyielding drive to beat their cancer will be my source of strength as I make my way to Gillette and back! I am hoping to inspire the younger generation and make my family and friends and supporters proud ! Thank you for your suppprt!
