We hope that you will ride with us as we raise money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.  **MORE INFORMATION COMING SOON!** ## Schedule of Events ## Routes ## 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 June.  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/boston) ## Fundraising The fundraising minimum for each rider is $40 and is due by September 1.

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.* ## Volunteer Information Get the entire family involved and support the event by volunteering! Be a route guide, 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. **All route guides must wear a helmet! ** [ Register to Volunteer ](https://secure.kids.pmc.org/volunteer/southboston) ## PMC Pedal Partner - Celia ![Celia_SouthBoston](https://kids.pmc.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Celia_SouthBoston.jpeg?width=350&height=438&name=Celia_SouthBoston.jpeg) The PMC Pedal Partner Program is a wonderful way for riders to connect with a child who has been affected by cancer. PMC Pedal Partners are pediatric oncology patients at the Jimmy Fund Clinic who are paired with PMC Kids Rides or PMC teams. ### Meet Celia! Celia is the 2025 PMC Pedal Partner for the South Boston PMC Kids Ride! *When our daughter was diagnosed with cancer, we felt like we had lost her even when she was in the same room. Her diagnosis hit us so hard. It's a feeling no parent should ever experience. Dana-Farber helped us not only with lifesaving treatment for our little girl, but with **compassion for us, the parents.*   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 ## Sponsorship Opportunities The Hopkinton 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.
