Heading into 2018, the Baker sisters had raised over $30,000 for cancer research by organizing the first PMC Bike Ride in New York State––an event they have held annually since 2015. The sisters have also exhibited their leadership in other efforts: Hannah was awarded the "Star of Life Award" by the Norwich Fire Department for her quick-thinking in a school medical emergency in September, and Brenna has raised over $3,000 for the Chenango SPCA. "These two young women provide us hope for our future, hope for our community, hope for humankind with their positive actions and leaderships activities," said Carnrike.
