The Pan-Mass Challenge Publicity Team

 

 

Jackie says her life changed for the better and in the most amazing ways in 2002, when the Jimmy Fund asked her to lead the PMC publicity team. “Since then, the event, the organization, and the people who make it all happen have become so much a part of my personal and professional life, it’s hard to recall what life was like before I became a PMCer. I remember standing on the green at MMA on my first PMC weekend and being completely in awe of all that was going on around me and feeling so blessed to be a part of it all.  It’s been a pleasure meeting and working with so many cyclists and volunteers who give of themselves in so many ways to make the PMC the success that it is. Being a member of the PMC Head Staff is something I absolutely cherish. The people are all so smart and committed, each one is a role model is a different way. What’s most amazing to me, is that after eight years, I’m as thrilled and honored to be on the PMC team as I was when it was all new – maybe even more so.” jackie@teakmedia.com

 

Andrea, another PMC veteran, says her favorite part of PMC weekend is when the last rider comes through the Babson finish. “The road crew drives behind the last rider honking, cheering and flashing their lights as the cyclist makes his or her way into campus. Everyone drops what they are doing to come out and cheer. It’s emotional. The volunteer crew makes certain the last rider is just as pampered as the first with a juicy burger, cold drink, and a refreshing shower.” andrea@teakmedia.com

 

Stephanie experienced the PMC for the first time in 2008, helping out at Dighton lunch stop, Bourne and Wellesley. She was blown away at the opening ceremony and even more impressed watching the riders arrive in Bourne after a long, long day, always with smiles on their faces. As lead writer of the blog, she’s amazed at the history of PMC she’s discovered through writing the 30 Years in 30 Weeks series. She’s looking forward to being part of the 30^th anniversary in 2009. stephanie@teakmedia.com

 

Katie’s favorite part of PMC weekend is spending time in the pedal partner tent and watching the faces of the kids when they meet up with their teams. She has worked on both the 2007 and 2008 ride, and can’t wait to take on the 30th anniversary celebration this August. katie@teakmedia.com
