The woman to the right here is my Mom, Ann McPherson. This will be the 3rd year that Mom has gone along with me on the PMC, and I'm glad to have her. Mom is a breast cancer survivor, and has been cancer-free for at least 10 years. (I'm sorry, but I've lost count.) You can read my previous passenger profile for Mom from PMC 2010 here.
This year Mom will be a passenger AND an active participant in the Pan Mass Challenge. She'll be visiting us here in MA during the PMC and is volunteering at the Mass Maritime Academy stop in Bourne, along with Sandy and Ben. I can't tell you how excited I am to have her helping out and getting to experience it first-hand (I hope the weather is nice for her.)
So there you are. Love you Mom. See you soon.
Your favorite son,
