quinn222 at 09:28am on 09/07/2006I'm sure many of you remember the Liberty Ride? Well the PMC ride is a similar event that raises money for the Jimmy Fund:
Over the last 26 years, tens of thousands of people have ridden across the Commonwealth in the PMC with one goal in mind – financing cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through itsJimmy Fund. Together, PMC cyclists have raised more than $145 million,crucial funds that have improved the lives of cancer patients and their loved ones around the globe.
Here's a little more about where the money goes.
The PMC Philosophy
While there are today many athletic fundraising events, the PMC is arguably the most successful in terms of the money raised and the percentage of funds it contributes directly to charity. In 2005, 99 percent of all funds raised by PMC riders went directly to the Jimmy Fund. Only one cent of each dollar raised through riders' sweat anddetermination was used for administrative and organizational expenses.The PMC is considered the leanest fundraising operation in the nationtoday.
This year my cousin is riding for the first time (her husband rode it last year). If you're looking for a good place to drop a few charity dollars, this is a good one.

PS: She has no idea I have a blog or anything. It might be sort of amusing to have her wondering why she's getting sponsored by people she never heard of from all over the place :-)
