Am I ready? Not so sure about it, but as with many things in life, we go forward with trust and hope that all will go well. It’s important to remember that the ride isn’t about me, it’s about all of those affected by cancer, those going through treatments and those who have passed. While I have personally been affected by cancer too many times, the PMC is about the greater community of concern about finding a solution for the disease. The good news is that in the 10 years that I’ve done the PMC many folks have been conquering cancer that may not have lived through it previously. The research is integral, supporting what Dana Farber does, matters. I’ve always said that other than having my own kids and raising them to adulthood, my proudest moments are when I reach Provincetown and conquered my own weaknesses to fulfill a need that I have to make a difference!
Thanks to all who have support my ride with sponsorship with kind words and with kudos!

John and I rode down Lowell Rd from Carlisle MA to Concord MA along a beautiful fairly flat Lowell Rd. We noticed road construction along the road and there were barrels in the patches of asphalt on the road. As we entered Concord, there continued to be long asphalt patches with barrels on the sidewalk but not in the patches. We came to a patch that was leveled to the road, but it the exit was raised. John was riding along the patch, I was cycling on the street to avoid the patches. John hit the upward part of the patch and his tire flatted and he spun out on the road, hitting his head on the pavement and was knocked out. I hit is body, flew over the handlebars and landed on him. He was lifeless, I was in shock with my chin dripping blood and I held his hand and called his name. Two cyclists happened by and they called 911 and John started to wake up so I extracated myself from the bike heap. Two ambulances, both of us boarded and sent to the local hospital for neck CTs and John had a head CT because he had a concussion. I had facial abrasions, and a bump on my head and my arm looked broken but wasn’t. John ultimately was diagnosed with a couple of broken ribs and a separated shoulder in addition to his concussion.
We’ve been healing … but it will take time. Quite a testament to the importance of cycling helmets.
