On Sunday, June 9, 2013, PMC Kids Rides will be coming to Concord at the picturesque Middlesex School. Kids ages 5 to 15 are invited to ride either a 1, 5, 10, or 15 mile route to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Jimmy Fund while their families cheer them on and enjoy the event. For safety, all PMC Kids riders must be off training wheels and there is a minimum 16 inch wheel size (to the tire edge) for the 1, 5, 10 & 15 mile rides. There will be a separate 1/4 - 1/2 mile PMC Kids Jr. Ride for riders with training wheels and those under 5. To participate in the PMC Kids Jr. Ride, follow the same registration process. All registered riders will receive a PMC Kids t-shirt and water bottle. There are no pets allowed at this event.

Since the PMC Concord Kids Ride started in 2008, we have raised over $225,000 towards the fight against cancer. With your help, we look forward to making a significant contribution again this year.

Mission:
The mission of PMC Concord Kids Ride is to include young cyclists in the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge (PMC) mission of raising money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. The program engages youth in philanthropy and teaches them the value of working for the benefit of others. The ride also promotes athletic fitness and physical activity among youth.
