The Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), which has raised $1.125 billion for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute since 1980, is relocating its starting line and hub site from Sturbridge to Worcester. The annual bike-a-thon will begin July 31 at the College of the Holy Cross, a site that can accommodate more riders and offer them a new route for the first 23 miles of the ride to Bourne.
“This new partnership with Holy Cross offers our PMC community more space and resources to increase our impact in the fight against cancer,” said PMC Founder and Chairman and Dana-Farber Trustee Billy Starr. One hundred percent of every rider-raised dollar goes directly to cancer research and care at Dana-Farber.
