#WhyIPMC guest blog by Linda Mason, 1st-year rider, Team Hvision
Why I PMC?
I PMC in memory of those who have lost their battle with this dreadful disease, one person in particular is Dan Carpenter, I met Dan while working at IP, a little about Dan, he served in Vietnam and was a Marine, very hard core by the way, he took this honor very serious in his life even after he go out. I can remember a time when I needed to get ready for my Army PT test and he volunteered to run with me, he was very helpful, he also enjoyed fishing with the grandkids. Then cancer struck, Dan fought this awful disease for many years and even as he got worse I would stop in and say hi and we would sit and talk about old times. 
Dan is not the only reason I PMC, it is for the several other friends I have lost to this disease, I also ride for the friends in my life that are still fighting and hope that someday there will be a cure, I hope with the money that is raise for this great cause will bring us closer.
