T-24 days until the PMC! Can you join me and volunteer for the massage therapy crew? Katie Adams here, and I have the honor this year of being “Table 1” of what we hope will be the first of 100 tables! The PMC is the most incredible sports massage event I’ve ever worked in my 20 years of practice. The riders, who have amazing stories of why they are biking across MA for cancer, think we are the rock stars. Seriously, it stuns me every year how grateful they are to get a massage when they are the ones raised the money and it was their legs that did all the hard work!
