Welcome to the PMC Lower Cape Kids Ride!

We are back for our 6th Annual Ride for a cure!  Same ride, but with a new and improved name!

Kids ages 2 through 15 ride for a cure, on courses that cater to their level of experience.  Since 1980 the PMC has been the largest fundraiser for the Jimmy Fund at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. 100% of all the money raised is donated!  We are sponsored by Stop & Shop. Last year we were one of 35 rides throughout New England with a total of 5,300 kids raising a total of $834,449 together! Our ride alone had 100 riders who raised $15,263.

This year we welcome Pedal Partner - Bennett Hartley and his family to the PMC Family!  We join the Red Sox Team 9 and the Cape Cod Seacamps Team in honoring Bennett.  He is a local 2nd Grader who is currently being treated at the Jimmy Fund.  Help us pedal for a cure in his honor!  This is a great event and it is an opportunity to educate the kids that every little bit helps, even a fun day riding bikes.

On line registration is open, we recommend registering right away so you can start spreading the word about your ride through your personal online account.  This account allows you to fundraise all online through email and the safety of the PMC website.  Register as a family or individual.  Parents are encouraged to volunteer free of charge.  Great events happen because of great volunteers.  Every little bit helps.
