Yesterday I had the great privilege to photograph the start of the Pan Mass Challenge in Wellesley. Hundreds of folks gather from all over the area to cycle hundreds of miles to raise money for the fight against cancer. Over 5k riders participated this year! Amazing is the fact that most of these people have returned to cycle year after year. Amazing is the fact that many of the riders are like most of us. Couch potatoes who finally decide enough is enough, it's time to participate in a life changing journey. As I stood in the middle of the street, I was amazed at the sound of silence. Thousands of cyclists past me. Not one of them spoke. A moment of silence to the loved ones who have died of cancer. A wonderful swoosh sound from bike tires to the heavens above from those living strong and those who will never give up.
