These 11 Darienites to Ride in 192-Mile Pan-Mass Cycling Event
|
On Aug. 5 and 6, 11 riders from Darien will cycle up to 192 miles in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), an event trying to raise $48 million for research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. During PMC weekend, more than 6,200 cyclists from more than 40 states and eight countries will return to Massachusetts to participate in the PMC, choosing from 12 routes of varying mileage that run through 46 towns. Many riders participate in the PMC to honor a family member or friend lost to, or being treated for, cancer. More than 600 riders and volunteers are cancer survivors or current patients, considered “Living Proof” of the PMC mission to find a cure.
