The ride this year will be VIRTUAL! Join us October 2-4 as we celebrate the PMC Kids Rides community. While we can’t be together physically this year, your family can get involved in the PMC Kids Rides mission by signing up as virtual riders.
Riders are encouraged to get creative when deciding what their virtual PMC Kids Ride means to them. Whether it is a socially distant ride around the neighborhood, hitting a mileage goal or going on a long bike ride with family, it is up to you! Plan your virtual ride with us on October 2-4 for our PMC Kids Rides celebration or ride another weekend - either way we hope that you will join us as we raise money for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute!
Please make sure to follow all public health regulations and guidelines for your area, while practicing safe social distancing. See the “Safety” section below for more tips.
The Sandwich PMC Kids Ride 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
Established in 2017, Sandwich PMC Kids has raised $97K for the Jimmy Fund. Starting with 62 riders in 2017, 155 Rider pedaled more than 1200 collective miles in search of a cure. This year we encourage you to join us and help Sandwich PMC Kids reach our 2020 goal of 200 riders and $45K 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,

Riders can choose their own route for this year’s virtual ride. Talk to your parents and family members and get creative when creating the route you will ride. Have fun with it - ride loops in your neighborhood or plan for a longer bike ride with your family. Set-up your own water stop or make fun chalk drawings in the street for encouragement.
Please make sure to follow all public health regulations and guidelines for your area, while practicing safe social distancing. See the “Safety” section below for more tips.
Parents will need to create an account or log in with an existing account in order to register their child or family. When creating an account, please enter the parent's information first as there will be a separate part in registration to enter the child's information.
Once registration is complete, parents will receive an email with information on how to log into their management page to customize donation pages and to track donations.
Download the rider bike tag and have your kids write their name and color it in before placing it on their bike.
Since the ride is virtual there is no registration fee or fundraising commitment. As such, riders will not receive the traditional goodie bag this year.
Virtual riders do not have a fundraising commitment, however we encourage all riders to set a fundraising goal to help us reach our 2020 goal of raising $41 million for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 100% of all rider-raised dollars will go directly to lifesaving cancer research and treatment, which is needed now more than ever.
Riders who go above and beyond with their fundraising will be recognized as All Star Fundraisers, Heavy Hitters or Breakaway Fundraisers and will receive a special gift in recognition of their fundraising efforts in late Fall.

General Safety Tips!Since the program has gone virtual, we do not have any physical volunteer opportunities this year. The PMC encourages all volunteers to consider becoming a PMC Virtual Rider to continue our shared commitment to Dana-Farber. You'll need to log in using a PMC account (not a PMC Kids Rides account) to set up your virtual ride.
You can request your fundraising be directed towards the Sandwich PMC Kids Ride by emailing kids@pmc.org
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.
