Paul Schaye's Ride

Why I Ride ...


Howdy,

 
Thank you supporting me in this year's Pan-Mass Challenge. I can happily say, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED;" I finished.  We were blessed by almost perfect weather--not too hot, no rain and reasonable headwinds on the Cape.  This year, thankfully, we had no broken bones, stitches, or road rash. I am thrilled to report that as of this moment (August 5th) Paul's Posse has collectively raised more than $100,000 and counting as monies are still coming in.

It's been three years now that I pulled together 'Paul's Posse' to support me and my formidable battle with cancer. This year 'The Posse' rode the PMC together again with our bond and determination as strong as ever.  If it was not for my fellow Posse members, I would not have completed my 12th PMC, considering just a short 90+ days ago; I was recovering from major surgery and a very uncertain future. I am so very thankful and each day is an absolute blessing.

This year two scenes particularly struck me.  The first was a child at the third water stop on the first day holding a sign saying "I'm 13 this year because of you."  The second was the 100+ kids at the Cape Cod Sea Camp who scream their heads off in support as we rode passed. The PMC is not about the personal achievement - it's about what we, who are strong and able, can give to others- life and hope.

The PMC is unquestionably a reaffirmation of the human spirit. I cannot help but hope that this collective support, focus, and determination will be rewarded someday soon with cures.

Thank you so very much for your wonderful support
 
Paul
