The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge raises money for life-saving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through an annual bike-a-thon that crosses the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a care provider and research facility entirely geared towards supporting patients with all kinds of cancer-including the rarest forms-and to finding a cure for the disease. They are helping to increase the survival rates of pediatric and breast cancers, decrease rates in cancer deaths, decrease incidence rates of lung and bronchus cancers, fund promising early-stage research with powerful equipment and world-class faculty, and generally treat the whole patient.
Since 1980, the PMC has raised $547 million for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber. The majority of this impressive total is considered unrestricted support-critical, flexible funding that can be directed where and when it is needed most. 100% of all rider raised fundraising is donated to the Dana-Farber.
We hope that the funds raised through the PMC will bring a cure for cancer with the work that is being done at Dana-Farber.
