Lincoln’s first annual Pan-Mass Challenge Kids Ride will raise money to support children with cancer through the Jimmy Fund at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The family event in Lincoln starts on Ballfield Road and includes three rides of different lengths for kids age 3 and up: a Tykes Loop around the Ballfield, a 2-mile loop and a 4-mile loop though the center of town.
If you can’t ride but wish to donate, Something Special is selling limited-edition PMC bracelets for $10 created by sixth-grader Will Levy, founder of the Lincoln event. All riders get a PMC Kids Ride T-shirt, water bottle and glow-in-the-dark wristband (volunteers get a T-shirt as well). The minimum fundraising commitment is $25 per rider, though most kids raise a lot more than that. Riders who raise $250+ also receive a PMC string bag and those who raise $750+ receive a special New Balance PMC backpack. In addition, Something Special will donate a $50 gift certificate to the child who raises the most money.

Thirty-seven towns in Masschusetts will host a ride in 2015, and the annual event has raised more than $600,000 to fight cancer. The adult version of the PMC ride includes one- or two-day routes in early August.
