August 2, 2008 PMC kickoff: pediatric oncologist Sam Blackman Play video

(NECN: Sturbridge, Mass.) - There is no question that the Pan-Mass Challenge builds a bond between riders, patients and families. And that web of connections is no more evident than in the ring connecting pediatric oncologist Dr. Sam Blackman to the PMC. That ring takes him from the 2006 PMC, to a patient in Kuwait and Kazakhstan, and beyond.

It's a web bound by connections, and the common determination to defeat cancer.
