About
Each summer, thousands of riders, volunteers and supporters gather for a bike-a-thon across Massachusetts on the first weekend in August with a common mission: raise funds to fight cancer in support of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The PMC is a fully supported bike-a-thon that provides riders with fundraising tools and guidance, meals and snacks at hub sites and waterstops along routes, mechanical and medical assistance, and luggage, bike and rider transportation.
This support allows riders to focus on why they’re riding: to fund cancer research and provide Dana-Farber’s doctors and researchers with the necessary resources to discover cures for all cancers.
