Waltham Cyclists Ride In 44th Annual Pan-Mass Challenge This Weekend

WALTHAM, MA — Thirty Waltham cyclists will join more than 6,000 riders from around the globe in the 44th annual Pan-Mass Challenge to raise money for cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute this weekend.

The goal for this year's fundraiser is a record-breaking $70 million. The PMC has raised more than $900 million since its inception in 1980.

For the 17th consecutive year, 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar will be donated directly to Dana-Farber. The PMC accounts for more than 60 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue as Dana-Farber’s largest single contributor.

"The steadfast commitment of the PMC community year after year continues to inspire me," said Billy Starr, founder and executive director of the PMC. "With our sights set on a record-breaking fundraising goal for PMC 2023, I'm grateful for the continued support from all PMC riders, volunteers, donors, and sponsors and I can't wait to see everyone out on the road together."

Cyclists will ride routes between 25 and 211 miles designed to cater to those of all abilities.
