This is for you, Mom.
Friends & Family,
I am honored to have been selected to ride alongside 'the greats' for a full 7 days! Thank you to the Townley Family & to the countless volunteers that make this ride possible every year.
Training is well under way for 2022!
Thank you once again for your support, encouragement & love for my September 2020 ride, May 2021 virtual ride and now (hopefully 'live') May 2022 ride for Pancreatic Cancer Canada with this amazing group of humans.
As all of you know, my dear mom, Marina Mauri Morsani, was diagnosed in July of 2018. We said goodbye to our angel in April 2021. She battled a challenging fight courageously and left us peacefully with grace and surrounded by love. 'You will always be my superhero and now, my forever angel, mom. I'll love you always'.
Prior to mom's passing, I let her know I would dedicate my life to continuing to raise awareness & funds for cancer research, more specifically pancreatic cancer. She loved this organization and was so grateful to everyone who supported the cause in any way they could. I spoke to her about how I would one day ride the full week with the crew, and she was so excited for me so long as I was careful ;) 'Mom, I will ride safe knowing you'll be by my side the entire ride.'
Pancreatic Cancer remains the deadliest of the major cancers, with a first-year survival rate of only 25%, and a 5-year survival rate of only 7%. The good news is that the survival rate has increased in recent years and with the focus of the Pancreatic Cancer Canada Foundation, we are optimistic that the survival rate will continue to increase!
As always, as a 7 Days In May rider, I will fund my own ride. We will direct 100% of ALL donations to Pancreatic Cancer Canada. All proceeds will be directed towards clinical trials and other direct studies, focused on early detection and a cure as well as providing support and education for those impacted by the disease.
Together, and to date, you have helped raise over 1 million dollars for 7 Days In May! THANK YOU!!!!
My goal for 2022 is to raise the most I've ever raised for cancer research. Help me get to my $7,000.00 goal ($1,000 for every day)!! Again, ALL administrative fees and overhead costs are managed by our sponsors and our riders. Every dollar you donate will go DIRECTLY to research. This is a founding principal of 7 Days and we will continue that objective for the foreseeable future.
In our lifetime, we will be able to #EndPanCan with your continued help.
To continue the tradition -
Sloan (9) & Xavier (almost 7) participated in their 2nd annual "Jr." 7 Days in May, riding their bikes for 7 consecutive days! They had set their goal for 50k for 2022 and surpassed it earlier this month! They thank you for your donations, support & love as well.
Ride on. Stay safe. Stay healthy and excited to hear the cheering in 2022!
Love, Mia xo
