The Mini Loop is a short ride with the “big kids” on a flat road with an exciting obstacle course. The registration fee for this ride is $10. In order to ride, participants must raise a minimum of $25. Check-in and onsite registration begins at 9:00 am at the UMASS South Street Campus in Shrewsbury. WEEI will be joined by Batteries Plus and Mango Helmets as they support the PMC Kids Ride in Shrewsbury on May 5th from 9:00am- 12:00pm to help raise funds for the Jimmy Fund.
PMC Kids Rides give children the opportunity to experience the joy of volunteerism and charitable giving through physical fitness and community spirit. These rides enable children between the ages of 3 and 13 to ride their bikes and solicit sponsors to donate money to cancer research. Money raised through the event goes to the Pan Mass Challenge/Jimmy Fund, the most successful athletic fundraiser in the nation. Kids also have the option to raise funds in the name of a relative or friend fighting cancer or to dedicate their ride to a special person. The PMC Kids Rides program offers children, parents, and neighbors an opportunity to work together to create individual bike-a-thons in neighborhoods, at schools, or in business complexes.
