Zachary Gessman rode in the Westwood Pan-Mass Challenge Kids Ride today.

Zachary Gessman, an ambitious 8-year-old and second year rider in the Westwood Pan-Mass Challenge Kids Ride, started a “One Dime at a Time” fundraising campaign at his local school.

Through this campaign, which included making customized PMC Kids Rides labels, placing them around his school and encouraging his classmates to donate lose change, Zachary was able to raise $574.58 for cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber through the Westwood Pan-Mass Challenge Kids Ride. The event was held on May 31.
