Rich Crowe's Ride

Why I Ride ...

I am a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading the campaign to beat cancer.  In fact, last year, 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute’s tireless commitment to finding a cure. 
2013 will be my fourth time riding in the PMC. Once again I will be riding 191 miles, in memory of my wife Sandy,who on July 23, 2011 passed away from complications from pneumonia. Six years ago Sandy was diagnosed with Leukemia thus starting our journey. Sandy  received a stem cell transplant from her sister, Terry. Our family will always be grateful for her wonderful gift of life.  Thanks to Dr. Corey Cutler and the incredible staff at Dana Farber, Sandy was able to enjoy some very special moments over the past four plus years with her family and friends.
I invite you to spend a moment and watch a documentary, which Sandy was involved with. This documentary was produced by the Harvard Medical School and Dana Farber Hospital. It tells the story of stem cell transplant research and the tremendous  progress going on in this field http://www.hsci.harvard.edu/finding-cure-leukemia-stem-cell-story
The incredible pride and passion I experience, from all those involved with the PMC event, is very powerful and life changing. 
Far too many of our families, friends, and neighbors have been stricken with this dreaded disease. So it's in their honor and memory, that I will ride once again. It's a way our family can give back, in the hopes, what we do today will help someone tomorrow.
I invite you to join my team and together we CAN and we  WILL make this hope and dream of finding a cure a reality

Thank you so much for your support.
