Rik Clark's Ride
Why I Ride ...
My first ride was in the 1993 PMC, riding with older brother Allen. We were 69 and 63 in 1993. My wife, Sandy, and I volunteered in 1992 when Allen first rode. I had three great PMCs with Allen before we lost him to lung cancer in 1997. Son, Ted, rode Allen's truck of a bike in 1997 and has ridden with me every year since. The paceline photo was taken of Ted and me at the Dighton lunch stop on Saturday, August 1st. Daughter Sue has also ridden and Sandy, along with other family members and friends have volunteered every year.
The PMC Pedal Partner Program began in 2001 and our team has participated in the Program each year since. Several of our young Pedal Partner Jimmy Fund Clinic patients have lost their battles with cancer but several are doing well. Cycling from either Sturbridge or Wellesley for two days or one is a piece of cake compared to what young cancer patients and their families endure. Our 2009 PMC Pedal Partner is Mykaela Fuller from Hudson, NY, for the third year in a row. We have enjoyed knowing the Fullers and hope that Mykaela continues to do well.
The $45,000 fundraising goal for 2009 has been selected with the hope that my cumulative fundraising goal from 1993 of $500,000 will be met, either in 2009 or 2010.
The PMC is NOT about the bike, it is about Dana-Farber and helping to win the war against cancer.
Support, emotionally and financiall truly helps.
