William Mead's Ride
Why I Ride ...
We were cruising at 22 mph, locked wheel to wheel on the second day of the PMC along the road from Bourne to Provincetown on the Cape. Four of us were riding together, drafting one another to ride fast and save energy. Two families, my brother and I, and a father and son team. The young son was awesome in the lead, pulling us over a hill with ease. I noted to the Dad that his son was strong, to which the dad responded, “he’s the cancer survivor”.
That is one of the amazing stories we experience in a
weekend riding the Pan Mass Challenge, 163 mile cycle from Wellesley to Bourne,
then Bourne to Provincetown. The
ride benefits the Jimmy Fund at the Dana Farber Cancer Center, fighting cancer
in kids.
This will be our ninth PMC, riding in year one the day after Mariana’s service, and riding for my Dad, who passed away in 2000 from cancer. As usual, if you will provide the contributions, I will happily sacrifice my aging legs and butt to the cause.
Last year we raised $14,250, and in 7 years we have raised
$72,650 - amazing! So let’s just
shoot for an even $15,000 this year, then in 2011 on year 10 we can break
$100k!
