34 Westborough Residents Riding For Cancer Awareness
The 34th Annual Pan-Mass Challenge is Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday and Sunday, 34 Westborough residents will ride their bicycles to support the fight against cancer.
The 34th Annual Pan-Mass Challenge will involve 5,500 cyclists riding one of 11 routes in Massachusetts, organizers said in a press release.
The proceeds will benefit the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the Jimmy Fund.
"PMC riders range in age from 13 to 88. Some are seasoned tri-athletes while others are weekend warriors having trained for this event alone. Many PMC participants ride in honor of a family member or friend lost to, or being treated for, cancer. All share a passion and desire to one day find a cure for the disease," organizers said.
"The average PMC cyclist trains for three months, solicits 40 sponsors, and raises more than $6,000. Doctors ride alongside their patients; grandparents ride with their grandchildren; and others show support from the sidelines in the form of donations and cheers. More than 300 riders are cancer survivors or current patients."
