Pan Mass Challenge rides through Medfield

Once again, the hundreds of Pan Mass Challenge riders were on the streets of Medfield this past Saturday. As they rode on North Street, approaching the town center, they were cheered and thanked by residents and onlookers.

As a sign of support an encouragement, and as was done in the past by Medfield Properites, Jack Conway Realtor, set up a water station for the riders and held signs of thanks.

The Pan Mass Mission Statement from their website states:

The Pan-Mass Challenge raises money for life-saving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through an annual bike-a-thon that crosses the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Since its founding in 1980, the PMC has successfully melded support from committed cyclists, volunteers, corporate sponsors and individual contributors. All are essential to the PMC’s goal and model: to attain maximum fundraising efficiency while increasing its annual gift. Our hope and aspiration is to provide Dana-Farber’s doctors and researchers with the necessary resources to discover cures for all cancers
