Sandwich

The Sandwich PMC Kids Ride is a mini-bike-a-thon for children ages 3-14. It provides kids the opportunity to participate in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) mission of raising money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) in Boston, just like adults that ride the "Big PMC."

PMC Kids Rides are a blast for kids, friends and family! It also engages youth in philanthropy, instills the value of working for the benefit of others and promotes physical fitness. Most importantly, 100% of all PMC Kids rider-raised funds go directly to Dana Farber Cancer Institute to support cancer treatment and research.

Established in 2017, this will be the 3rd annual Sandwich PMC Kids Ride. In 2017, 62 riders collectively rode more than 600 miles and raised $20,193. In 2018, 101 riders together rode more than 925 miles while raising $34,598. We encourage you to join the fun and help us reach our 2019 goal of $40,000 for the Jimmy Fund.

Every family has been touched by cancer. PMC Kids provides an awesome venue for kids to honor both loved ones lost too soon and those who continue to inspire us as they live with cancer.  We hope you will join us for this year's ride. Thank you,

We are honored to have Isaac as the Sandwich PMC Kids Ride Pedal Partner. The PMC Pedal Partner program provides a way for riders to connect with a child who has cancer and bring real meaning to their participation in the event. We invite you to read a little about Isaac and learn how his bravery inspires us to ride, volunteer and fundraise for this important cause. 

Isaac is 5 years old and lives on Cape Cod with his parents and little brother. Isaac loves playing with his 4-year-old brother and hopes to grow up to be fireman. Isaac was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) on March 3, 2017, at just 3 years old. Since diagnosis, he has had to spend 75 days in the hospital. Over the past 2 years, he has bravely made regular trips to the Jimmy Fund Clinic to receive chemo, blood transfusions, and other procedures. He completed a 2 year treatment plan on April 17th and is now considered in remission.
