PMC 2010 Passenger: Ann McPherson

This is a picture of my mom, Ann McPherson.   I'll be taking Mom as one of my "passengers" on this year's ride.  Mom is a breast cancer survivor, and has been cancer-free for about 10 years or so.

What's most remarkable about my mom's battle with cancer is this:  While Mom was undergoing radiation and chemo, she was also taking care of her own mother's health issues  (late stages of dementia) -- all the while never letting on to my grandmother that she was even ill.

The picture on the right was taken at Salisbury Beach few years ago when Mom came up from Texas to visit us here in New England.  It's one of my favorites. I'll be proud to take Mom along as one of my passengers on this year's Pan Mass Challenge in August.    I'm proud of you and I love you, Mom!
