Sara Swaim's Ride

Why I Ride ...

On August 7th and 8th, I will be participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) along with thousands of others, both riders and volunteers, all dedicated to raising funds for cancer care and research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.  This will be my third year cycling in the event, and my second time starting from Sturbridge for the 192 mile ride to Provincetown. (For pictures from last year's ride, an incredibly rewarding experience, please click on the photo link to the left.) 

As a nurse in orthopaedic oncology at Children's Hospital Boston, I feel deeply committed to our pediatric patients and their families whose lives have been touched by cancer. The strength and courage they all demonstrate is inspirational, and I find it personally gratifying to care for each and every one of them. 

In the PMC, I will be riding with the Pedals for Pediatrics team, a group of almost 50 riders whose fundraising directly benefits pediatric oncology services (program funding and direct financial assistance) and research at the Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Care. Please find the link to the right for more information about all the great initiatives, ongoing and future. 

I hope that you will consider sponsoring my ride and supporting this worthy cause. 

With many thanks,

Sara
