The ride is billed as the nation’s single most successful athletic fundraiser. The PanMass Challenge donates 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar to Dana-Farber as its largest single contributor, accounting for 55 percent of its Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, the PMC has raised more than $114 million for Dana-Farber, bringing its 42year contribution to DanaFarber to $831 million.

All baking on premises.

“We’re coming off of a record-breaking fundraising year for Dana-Farber, and we’re thrilled to be ‘back in the saddle’ this summer, bringing our PMC community together for our first traditional PMC weekend since 2019 with our sights set on making an even bigger impact in the fight against cancer,” said Billy Starr, founder and executive director of the PMC. Founded in 1980, the PanMass Challenge has raised $831 million for adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research at DanaFarber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund. The Pan-Mass Challenge is presented by the Red Sox Foundation and M&T Bank. To make a financial contribution to a rider, or to register as a rider, visit pmc.org or call 800-WE-CYCLE.

K-9 From A1

Obaid Malick, a marketing director for BMW and Mercedes Benz, said he was happy to see the turnout that morning. “It was one of those things that we wanted to partner with our first responders and decided ‘let’s support the K-9 unit,’” Malick said. “We thought it would be a good community event that would be a great connection with the event.”

BELLOWS FALLS, VTSean D. “Animal” Kelley, 58, of Bellows Falls, VT, died peacefully on July 6, 2022, at 7:30 p.m. He was born March 8, 1963, in New Haven, CT, the son of predeceased parents, Fern R. Goodrich and Norman Kelley, and stepdad Mike. Sean attended school at New Haven High, CT. He worked as a gas attendant in his early years, then attended Netty Trucking School in North Haven, CT, and moved to VT to start his career at Brattleboro Haulage Trucking. Sean is survived by two sons from Dawn Colberg: Adam, Adam’s wife-Kristi Pierce, Adam’s daughtersKaylee and Kylee Kelley; son Alexander with a daughter from Jen, Lilly Ann & son Colton Kelley from LeAnn Kicza; his brother Dave, Dave’s daughters-Ashley and Amber Kelley, also a bunch of nieces & nephews, best friends, predeceased best friends. There will be no services, but we are having a gathering (pig roast), at Adam Kelley’s home, 18 Nina Lee Drive, Putney, VT 05346, Saturday, Aug. 27, 2022, 1 p.m.

Malick said he had done events like this at other dealerships. “The main goal was to support the K-9 unit and help raise funds for them. We had easily over 500 people that came through,” Malick. “We have a great connection with the police department, and Lt. Matt Falcon understood what I wanted to do.” Falcon said it was a great event. “The K-9 program is a huge asset to our department, and we’re happy to have it,” Falcon said. “These K-9 officers are so committed, and we have been so successful with the program.” K-9 officers Taro and Cyrus were in attendance at the “Cars and Coffee” event, as was retired K-9 Koda. Falcon said the department is getting another K9, a female labrador, this December. Typically K-9 officers are in the department for about eight years. They spend the first one or two years training for a specific unit.

Life coach writes migration memoir about leaving Mexico

“I’m part of the community of closeted romantics,” she said in a virtual interview. “I am very cheesy, although I try not to let it slide into the vulgar or ordinary in my writing, but to keep it deep and serious.”

This June, Cuadriello-Arreguín celebrated seven years in Connecticut and launched a book of meditations about her immigration process called “Informalmente: Reflexiones” in Spanish.

Migration Her cousin, Selene Borges Hanson, 50, remembers the difficulty of the first years of migration. “It cost her a lot to insert herself into a society that works differently from what she knew,” Borges said in a telephone interview. Despite the distance, she said that she stays in touch with Cuadriello-Arreguín and considers her a friend and mentor.

Mini Trip: Tuesday, July 26, 9:30 a.m., to Universal Drive. Q-Tip Painting. Tuesday, July 26, 1:30 p.m. RSVP required. Hike and Brunch. Thursday, July 28, 9 a.m. Hike at Wharton Brook (weather permitting) followed by brunch at The Breakfast Nook. RSVP required. Senior Center Picnic. Wednesday, Sept. 14, 12 p.m. Tickets are $10.

In Connecticut, CuadrielloArreguín worked in radio and television. In 2016, she started a self-help business called Avanza con Laura in Middlefield. She self-published a self-help book in Spanish called “AVANZA”

Both had undergone divorces and Cuadriello-Arreguín decided to move to Connecticut in 2015 with her new husband. She left her Mexican handicrafts business, her job as a teacher and her practice as a psychotherapist.

Memoir From A13

Borges recalls. “And she did it. She has a community that accepts her, that recognizes her, that talks about her.” Among other services, Avanza con Laura offers life coaching, seminars, couple workshops and individual counseling for Spanish speakers. Maribel Rodríguez, 38, attended a marriage meeting at her parish with Cuadriello-Arreguín. They stayed in touch through community events, and Rodríguez did a year of counseling with Cuadriello-Arreguín during the pandemic. “My idea has always been to have the support of people who are more qualified than me to make decisions,” she said in a telephone interview. “It is easier for me to talk to an expert who I know is going to tell me a neutral point of view than to tell my neighbor.” Rodríguez participated in a livestream that CuadrielloArreguín hosted on Facebook about the emotional price of migration.

Integration Cuadriello-Arreguín is a lifelong learner. She has a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, two academic specializations and more than 30 years of experience as a teacher, she said. She recently became interested in understanding how the immigration process affects her clients from an emotional point of view, both for those who migrate and for those who are left behind.

Cuadriello-Arreguín wrote the last chapter of the book on the plane back to Mexico.

Offering The Finest In

DOMINICAN

Raúl Rivera, 67, came to the celebration and read a copy of “Informalmente.” He has known Cuadrello-Arreguín for more than a decade and attended counseling with her. “It’s a love story,” Rivera said in a phone interview. “It is easy to understand. It hooks you. I was caught by the way she describes daily life, nostalgia, encounters and reunions.”

CUISINE Our Dishes Have The Most Amazing Flavors

Stop in Today and Just Try It!

Rivera remembers the last time he spoke with Cuadriello-Arreguín. He decided to give her a book written by the Argentine doctor and psychotherapist Jorge Bucay about the search for the goddess of fortune in other horizons.
