PMC Kids Rides became an official PMC program in 2005 as a way to include young cyclists in the Pan-Mass Challenge mission raising money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. The program engages youth in philanthropy, instills the value of working for the benefit of others, and promotes athletic fitness and physical activity.
The PMC Kids Rides Program offers children, parents, and neighbors an opportunity to work together to create individual bike-a-thons in neighborhoods, at schools, or in business complexes. These rides enable children between the ages of 3 and 15 to ride their bikes and solicit sponsors to donate money to cancer research.

The PMC Wilmington-Andover Kids Ride is ready for their 10th event! Last year was one of our most successful rides yet; we had a beautiful, sunny day and raised over $18,000! The ride will continue to be headquartered at the Boutwell Elementary School in Wilmington. We are hoping for 200 children, pre-kindergarten through sixth grade, to ride continuous loops beginning by the Boutwell Elementary School, heading down Carter Lane, continuing past the Wilmington Middle School and West Elementary School grounds then returning back to the Boutwell (approximately one mile). The children will ride the course as many times as they can in the allotted time. Kindergarteners and first graders will ride from 9 to 9:30 a.m., second and third graders will ride from 9:45 to 10:30 a.m., and fourth through sixth graders will ride from 10:45-11:45. There will also be a route for “tykes on trikes” set up on the Boutwell school tennis courts from 9:00 to approximately 10:00am. There will be free face painting, music, and refreshments during the ride.
