Welcome to the Winchester PMC Kids Ride!

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we've had to reinvent this event this year. However, it is the most proudest of hearts that we introduce the 2020 Winchester PMC Kids Ride 6 Day challenge.

Both as our small community and as part of the bigger PMC Kids Ride community, we have made a huge impact for DFCI! We have raised real money that has made a REAl impact on the fight against cancer. And although we are all having to take a break from our typical lives, cancer is NOT taking a break. Friends, family, neighbors, kids that need our help are all continuing to fight cancer and its effects on their bodies and minds. So that means Winchester Kids MUST RIDE ON!

Make the commitment to join us for a 6 day biking challenge June 8-13th because you want to be a part of giving back & you want to fight cancer! Depending on which "route" you chose, you will be committing to riding each day for that amount of time/distance. We know it is not the same as riding "together" at Lynch, but together we can still make a difference. This reinvented ride remains dedicated to ALL of OUR loved ones whose lives were cut short by cancer and to those who continue to inspire us as they live with or have beaten cancer.

Virtual Route Suggestions

  • Thunder Route: 10 minutes/day or 1/4 mile
  • Sachems Route: 20 minutes/day or 1 mile plus

Register to Ride Virtual

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.

Fundraising

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. 

  • All Star – $100+, riders will receive a PMC Kids Rides pennant
  • Heavy Hitter – $400+, riders will receive a PMC hat
  • Breakaway Fundraiser – $900+, riders will receive an item in the PMC store

Fundraising Tips

  • Customize your rider profile page (set a goal, include why you are riding and a photo)
  • Set up a Facebook Fundraiser
  • Start your fundraising early
  • Send out hand-written letters or emails to your friends and family

Safety

Please follow all public health regulations and guidelines for your area while biking in your neighborhood. Limit large groups of unrelated bikers and practice safe, social distancing.

General Safety Tips!

  1. Wear a properly-fitted helmet.
  2. Ride with a parent or guardian.
  3. Hands should remain on handlebars.
  4. Never wear any kind of headphones. You need to hear clearly.
  5. When passing, make sure to yell “on your left!”
  6. If you need to slow down or stop to cross an intersection or obstacle, yell “slowing” or “stopping” to alert those behind you.

Volunteers

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 Winchester PMC Kids Ride by emailing kids@pmc.org
