Chris Leonard rode his fourth Pan Mass Challenge on August 4-5th to raise money for cancer research. Chris is currently in remission from his own battle with cancer.

Dan Murphy joined our team this year for his 1st PMC! I think he has the PMC bug too!

Sue Denis also joined for her 1st PMC ride.
She is already plotting next years ride!
You Rock Sue!

Pan Mass 2005

This year I took a hiatus from riding in the PMC, I was 8 months pregnant we decided it was best if I stayed on solid ground at all times, my husband rode his 4th PMC and in total we have collected over $5,000 towards Cancer research at Dana Farber. That brings our 5 year total of fundraising to cover $55,000! It was one of the hottest days of the summer, and the spirits of the riders were not dampened at all!!!! Two new riders joined our team and I think both of them were totally amazed by the experience and both did AMAZING! Great job Sue & Dan!

We are waiting for the final totals for the PMC, but I am sure it will once again break all expectations as it does every year. I am just so impressed that $.99 of every dollar raised goes directly to Dana Farber cancer research! I hate this disease and I hope that one day we can win the fight, I am lucky that my husband and future father to our baby has been clear of cancer for the past 4 years. But I do realize not everyone is as fortunate. That is why I pay it forward. I maybe just 1 person but I can and do make a difference!!!! Thank you EVERYONE who has supported us over the years, especially Chris Hennigan, she is an amazing women and this year decided to pass on Dave Matthew's tickets in order to be there for my husband as he rode in the 1st day. And anyone who knows Chris knows she is one of Dave's biggest fans! Thanks Chris, it meant more to me then you will ever know!!!!

Til next year,
