WEEI Supports 6th Annual PMC Kids Rides in Hingham June 10, 2012

Children between the ages the 3 and 15 have a choice of five different routes. Tykes on tricyles can take on the “Trainer Loop,” perfect for beginning bikers! More advanced riders take can take on a paved, one-mile “Crusader Loop,” as well as a two-mile unpaved “Travel Blazer Loop.” For older kids feeling energetic and enthusiastic, there is a four-mile paved “Challenger Loop” as well as a six-mile unpaved “Mountaineer Loop.” All bikers are encouraged to ride the courses as many times as they want. WEEI will support the PMC Kids Ride in Hingham, this Sunday, June 10th from 8:30am- 12:00pm (check-in is from 7:15am – 8:15am) to help raise funds for the Jimmy Fund.

PMC Kids Rides give children the opportunity to experience the joy of volunteerism and charitable giving through physical fitness and community spirit. These rides enable children between the ages of 3 and 15 to ride their bikes and solicit sponsors to donate money to cancer research. Money raised through the event goes to the Pan Mass Challenge/Jimmy Fund, the most successful athletic fundraiser in the nation. Kids also have the option to raise funds in the name of a relative or friend fighting cancer or to dedicate their ride to a special person. The PMC Kids Rides program offers children, parents, and neighbors an opportunity to work together to create individual bike-a-thons in neighborhoods, at schools, or in business complexes.
