This will be my first PMC Winter Cycle!
This will be my first PMC Winter Cycle!
In the summer of 2023, while still undergoing treatment for breast cancer, I rode in my first Pan-Mass Challenge. When I joined Team Duncan last year, I had no idea the impact the team, the story of Duncan, and the PMC experience would have on my life as a patient and a survivor. I met an incredible group of people and enjoyed the most magical first Pan-Mass Challenge experience. In September, my kids joined Team Duncan to ride in a PMC Kids Ride, as we continue to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Fund at DFCI. Since then, I have completed my year of treatment and had my reconstructive surgery and I'm ready to ride again!
The PMC Winter Cycle returns to Fenway Park for its seventh year in 2024! Ride or volunteer in the PMC Winter Cycle on Saturday, March 9, 2024, in Fenway Park's 521 Overlook space.
The PMC Winter Cycle is meant to be a challenge in support of a good cause: riding and fundraising for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Six riders have taken this challenge even further by committing to ride all five sessions in the 2023 PMC Winter Cycle on February 4, 2023! These riders will participate in five consecutive 45-minute spin session and have committed to raising at least $2,500 for cancer research and treatment.
The Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) is pleased to announce Jelenew as the official women’s apparel partner of the 2023 PMC Winter Cycle. The PMC is the nation’s single most successful athletic fundraiser, having raised $900 million since 1980 in support of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Dana-Farber) and its world-renowned cancer research, treatment and patient care. PMC Winter Cycle is a charitable spin event that kicks off the organization’s fundraising efforts each year.

Are you ready to ride? The 2022 PMC Winter Cycle will return to Fenway Park on Saturday, April 9, 2022!
There are some things that just make you feel good: the sound of your shoes clipping in, the contour of well-padded saddle, and the right fit and grip of your handlebars. The “riders high” from pumping endorphins is equally matched by the knowledge that you are making a difference in the lives of cancer patients. It must be PMC Winter Cycle season!
Breaking news! We are thrilled to announce the new date for the 2021 PMC Winter Cycle: June 6, 2021!
We are thankful for your patience as we coordinated with Fenway Park to reschedule our event in support of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
