PMC week

It's here. This weekend's ride will have new meaning. You can be sure that I'll be thinking of those fighting or lost to cancer one each of the four days I consider part of my PMC ride...

11.3 mi from Sutton to Webster on Aug 2
48 mi from West Springfield to Southbridge on Aug 3
109.5 mi from Sturbridge to Bourne on Aug 4
80 mi from Bourne to Provincetown on Aug 5

248.8 miles total.

During each of those miles my thoughts and prayers will be with the following people and their families:

* Judy Azadan
* Marcia Haggis
* Douglas Carr
* Dave Beauregard
* Ken Hambley
* Jeanne St. Martin
* Tom King
* Joann Thayer
* Kate Elizabeth Lambert
* Robert Roy
* Fran Koury
* Pat Bradshaw
* Dorothy King
* Beverly Sullivan
* Anthony Muto
* Janice Kelley
* Rosa Botaish
* Dick Denton
* Mary Clair Hovermale
* Christine Lawton
* Patricia Lees
* Joyce Medeiros
* Judy Stevens
* Bill Wadsworth
* John Moy
* Paul Dirnberger
* Herb Donovan
* Julie Woolhouse
* Patti Woolhouse
* Raymond Leveille
* Douglas Tolderlund
* Joanne Monahan
* Maureen Carroll

Marcia D. Haggis

This past Tuesday July 17th we lost my mother in law, Marcia Haggis. She passed peacefully with family at her side at Newport Hospital, and she will be missed.

This is Marcia with her youngest grandaughter Cory at Middletown's Third Beach July 7, 2006.

PMC less than one month away!

Under one month to go until the PMC and training has been going well. I'll be looking to hook up with the fast guys who try to get to Bourne in 4:45 from Sturbridge... about 27 mph or so. Should be great fun! I've got a few friends working the event as volunteers which will be great as well.

This past weekend we went to visit family in New Jersey and stopped at the Statue of Liberty on the way down. It was overcast but still spectacular. Liberty island is really a nice little park and offers a great view of the city. The trip was nice, but that area is way to flat and packed with people: New England is home.
