3rd Annual PMC Framingham Kids Ride This Weekend

Three years ago, then-Framingham High student Michael Berkson created the PMC Framingham Kids ride, in honor of his father, Craig, a pancreatic cancer survivor and a Pan Mass Challenge cyclist. That first year, more than $7,000 was raised for the Jimmy Fund and the Dana-Farber Institute.

Berkson, who became a student at Columbia University, passed the organization of the event over to then-Framingham High students Katie Cassidy and Alex Sheldon for the 2nd Annual PMC Framingham Kids ride in 2014.

Sunday is the the 3rd Annual event, under the leadership of Framingham High students Reaiah Moses and Jack Schneiderman.

Kids ages 3-12 will ride their bicycles at Brophy Elementary School to raise money for cancer research through the Jimmy Fund and the Dana-Farber Institute.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. on Sunday. The registration fee is $10 per cyclist.

Ride begins at 9:45 a.m. (see the attached flyer for more details on the course and fundraising)

But after the ride is complete, there are fun activities for the kids and their families, including games, desserts, and dancing, with music supplied by Framingham’s David O’Leary, who you can hear on Magic 106.7 in the mornings.

The event is usually over by noon.
