Event Description

Pan-Massachusetts Challenge Kids Rides need tots, teens and in-betweens to spin their wheels and raise money for cancer research and treatment. More than 35 PMC Kids Rides will be held this spring, summer and fall throughout New England and beyond, offering a way for children to become a part of the PMC mission. The rides range from loops around the block to a 26-mile route. Post-ride parties feature DJs, refreshments, face painting, and silent auctions. Proceeds from the PMC Kids Rides will benefit the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge, which supports cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. PMC Kids Rides involve young people in volunteerism and fundraising in a safe and athletic way. Contributions can be made payable to the Pan-Mass Challenge. To register, visit http://kids.pmc.org. For more information, call 800-WE-CYCLE.

Boston Marathon Tragedy Poll

Did you talk to your children about the Boston Marathon tragedy?

  • Yes. I was worried they would hear about it and be scared, so I kept it short and answered their questions.
  • No. I'm still trying to understand what happened and I don't want my kids to be overwhelmed or frigtened.
  • I wasn't sure what to say, but I'm hoping to have my family help the victims and their families.
