Interested? Email [kids@pmc.org](mailto:kids@pmc.org)  ## Welcome to the Burlington PMC Kids Ride! The Burlington PMC Kids Ride is excited to announce that this year's ride will be held on Sunday, September 29 at The District!  We hope your family will join in the fun and help us raise money for Dana Farber Cancer Institute and The Jimmy Fund. 100 % of rider raised funds are donated to Dana Farber for cancer research and treatment. This PMC kids ride is a way for kids to help kids! We will have routes appropriate for children ages 2-15. So many families in town have been affected by cancer. The PMC Kids ride is a way that kids can honor family members and friends who have battled or are currently battling this awful disease. It is a way for our great town to come together and collectively help in the fight against cancer. ## Schedule of Events **Saturday, September 17** - **3:30 - 5 pm:** Pre-Registration **Sunday, September 18** - **8-9 am** – Registration - **9 - 9:15 am** – Opening Ceremonies - **9:15 - 10:30 am** – Ride! - **10 am - Noon** – After party!  ## Routes - **Little Tikes Route:** small ride around cones for riders with trikes, training wheels and scooters - **No One Fights Alone:** 1-mile loop through The District on mapped out route - **Conquer Cancer:** 3-mile loop through The District (doing the 1-mile loop 3 times) - **Virtual Rider:** Virtual riders are those who would prefer to ride on their own and not in person at the event. Virtual riders who raise $50 or more will receive an official PMC Kids Rides t-shirt and water bottle at the end of September for fall rides. Virtual riders have no registration fee or fundraising commitment. ## Register to Ride Parents will need to create an account or log in with an existing account to register their child or family. When creating an account, please enter the parent's information first, as there will be a separate section in registration to enter the child's information. Under "Event Option" parents will be able to select a route for each child. Riders have a $20 registration fee and a $40 fundraising minimum. Parents will need to sign a waiver and agree to the fundraising commitment in order to complete registration. In-person riders will receive their rider kit at the ride. **Virtual Rider** Parents will be able to select the “Virtual Rider” route if their child will not be riding in person but still wants to support the PMC Kids Rides program. Virtual riders can ride in their own neighborhood on the day of the ride or whenever they'd like! If a virtual rider raises $50 or more, they will receive an official PMC Kids Rides t-shirt and water bottle at the end of September for fall rides.  Once registration is complete for both in-person and virtual riders, parents will receive a confirmation email with information on how to log into their management page to customize donation pages and to track donations.  [ Register ](https://secure.kids.pmc.org/Register/burlington) ## Fundraising The fundraising minimum for each rider is $40 and is due by October 31 for fall rides.

Wear a properly-fitted helmet (children are required to wear helmets when participating). 2. Ride in control – this is not a race. 3. Hands should remain on handlebars. 4. Never wear any kind of headphones. You need to hear clearly. 5. Follow the ride guides and volunteers. 6. When passing other rides, make sure to yell “on your left!” Never pass riders on the right. 7. If you need to slow down or stop to cross an intersection or obstacle, yell “slowing” or “stopping” to alert those behind you. *Each PMC Kids Ride has a licensed medical professional on site.* ## Volunteers Get the entire family involved and support the event by volunteering! Be a ride marshal, work at a water stop, help distribute snacks and more. Volunteers will need to create an account and then will be able to select the position(s) that they would like.

PMC Pedal Partners are pediatric oncology patients at the Jimmy Fund Clinic who are paired with PMC Kids Rides or PMC teams. ### Meet Roman! Roman is the 2025 PMC Pedal Partner for the Burlington PMC Kids Ride! *Roman was diagnosed shortly before his 5th birthday. Roman will be 6 years old in April and will be starting 1st grade in the fall. He loves Hot Wheels cars and playing with his sisters. When he grows up, Roman wants to be a scientist, an artist and a dad.* If you know a child in treatment at the Jimmy Fund who is interested in being a PMC Pedal Partner for a PMC Kids Ride, please contact Katie Iwanowicz, PMC Pedal Partner Program Coordinator, at [katie@pmc.org](mailto:katie@pmc.org)  ## Local Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors! ## Sponsorship Opportunities The Burlington PMC Kids Rides relies on local sponsors to help keep costs low and so that the PMC can continue to donate 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
