Donna Cohen's Ride
Why I Ride ...
"Each mile pedaled, each dollar raised, brings us closer to a cure."
This is my 21st year riding in the Pan Mass Challenge. This year's ride is in memory of my dear biking buddy Cyclopath- Sam Zoll. Sam passed away from gallbladder cancer April 2011.
I began riding in the Pan Mass Challenge in 1992. It was the year that my friend's husband, Brendan Donahue, lost his battle with Leukemia at the age of 36, father of 2 young daughters. I needed to do something to help prevent that from happening to another family. That was when I began biking and fundraising for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/ Jimmy Fund. Since that time, my list of those I ride in memory of and in honor of has grown -Brendan, Kenny, Cousin-Derek, Griffin, Naomi, Fran, Sheldon, Steve, Cyclopath-Sue de Vries, Judy Hilliard, Cara, Chris, Cyclopath-Manny, Cyclopath-Sam, Cyclopath- Sue Redfield.
Each year I pedal in memory of those who lost their battle with cancer, those who continue to fight the good fight, and as a testimony to my health and ability to ride my bike.
To my many sponsors--
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I can not do this without your support.
