Special guest blog by 2nd year rider - Carolyn Brayfield
We ride to be closer to a cure, living the PMC’s mission – Closer by the Mile. The cheers from spectators, signs from survivors and messages of “thank you” throughout remind us of the importance of our mission. Heading into my second year of riding, PMC Weekend is only days away. Interestingly, I don’t find myself asking some of the same questions as last year at this time. I don’t have the same anxiety about the rolling hills of Day 1, or the dunes that carry us to the finish on Day 2. Instead, I am counting down until I join the other riders in Sturbridge, where we all share thankful spirit that PMC weekend instills in us, bringing us Closer by the Mile to a cure for cancer.
