It's so important that she learns at an early age to give back, especially to causes that teach her to honor our family and friends who have battled cancer while raising critical funds. She had so much fun and we can't wait to do it again next year – and hopefully top our fundraising!"  > > – Ana Senior, 8-year PMC rider & parent of Charlestown PMC Kids Ride rider Charlotte Andrade (first-year rider)   [ Back to Blog ](https://kids.pmc.org/blog) Related Blog Posts PMC Issues Call for Kids Ride Coordinators as It Expands Program Across New England Apr 13, 2026 5:00:14 PM The [Pan-Mass Challenge](https://www.pmc.org) is issuing a call for volunteers to help support the organization’s work towards a world without cancer.
