Have you ever met a group of people working together on a project that made you feel like you were part of something great? That is exactly how I have felt over these past few months as I have worked with some wonderful people on the 7th Annual Plymouth Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) Kids Ride. This event like its big brother the Pan-Mass Challenge works to raise money for to raise money for life-saving cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund with 100 percent of every rider dollar raised going directly to the Dana Faber.

Last year, our rider champions rode between 1 and 6 miles with the singular goal of making a difference in the fight against cancer. In the six years that Plymouth has held a Kids Ride we’ve raised over $55,000 for Dana-Farber. This year our goal is to attract 75 riders and raise a record $15,000.
There are three ways to ride making it fun for everyone! The youngest riders can spend their time on the dedicated, off-road tyke loop, while older riders can circumnavigate the pond, featuring a 1.1 mile paved road with a few gently rolling hills. Go around once or as many times as you can during the ride hour. And this year they are bringing back a 5+mile loop for seasoned riders, utilizing mostly bike paths throughout the Charge and Fearing Pond areas. It will be led by a dedicated group of adult riders. (Please note that this loop is restricted to strong riders, aged 10 and up, and has a fundraising minimum of $100.)
