    ANOTHER AMAZING RIDE WITH THE PMC - A TALK WITH BILLY & MEREDITH STARR THE FOUNDERS OF THE PMC

    With the upcoming ride in a few weeks I thought it would be a great idea to highlight this fabulous organization and its founder(s). Enjoy! The Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) is a bike-a-thon that today raises more money for charity than any other single athletic event in the country. The PMC pioneered the $5 billion athletic fund raising industry, and donates 100% of every rider-raised dollar to adult and pediatric cancer care and research at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA It was my pleasure to spend time with the founder, Bill Starr and his lovely wife Meredith. Billy started the PMC 41 years ago after losing his mother and other family members to cancer. Listen and be amazed at how one person's dream, dedication and commitment has changed the lives of so many. I have happily participated in this endeavor since 2003.
