Hamilton Cancer Survivor Honored at Fenway Park

Molly Morin of Hamilton was among 32 cancer survivors and Pan-Massachusetts Challenge cyclists who were honored by the Boston Red Sox last Saturday during PMC Day at Fenway Park.

Morin rode her bike around the warning track in a pre-game ceremony during which the PMC’s 32nd anniversary logo was unveiled on the Green Monster.

On Aug. 6 and 7, together with 5,000 cyclists, Morin will ride up to 190 miles across Massachusetts in the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge bike-a-thon.

Now in its 32nd year, the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge is a pioneer of the athletic fundraising industry and today raises more money for charity than any other single athletic event in the country.

This year’s goal is to raise $34 million for adult and pediatric cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund. The PMC contributes 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar directly to the cause.

This is the ninth year that the Boston Red Sox Foundation is the presenting sponsor of the Pan-Mass Challenge.
