Pan-Mass Challenge Weekend!

The PMC (Pan-Mass Challenge) is an annual bike-a-thon that raises funds for cancer research and patient care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, located in Boston, Massachusetts. It is one of the largest and most successful athletic fundraising events in the country.

The PMC was founded in 1980 and has since grown into a massive event, attracting thousands of cyclists and volunteers every year. Participants in the PMC commit to riding various routes that cover different distances across Massachusetts. These routes range from 25 to 192 miles, allowing participants of all skill levels to take part in the challenge.

The PMC’s mission is to provide hope and support to cancer patients and their families while raising money to fund groundbreaking cancer research and innovative treatments at Dana-Farber. Since its inception, the PMC has contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to the fight against cancer, making a significant impact in the battle against the disease.

Riders who participate in the PMC commit to raising a minimum amount of money as part of their registration. They reach out to friends, family, and supporters to sponsor their ride and contribute to the cause. This fundraising model has been highly successful in generating substantial funds for cancer research and care.

The PMC is not just a bike ride; it is a community-driven event that brings together people from all walks of life who are united in the fight against cancer. The event is known for its inspiring stories of cancer survivors, dedicated participants, and the generous spirit of the community that rallies behind this important cause.

Remember that specific details and schedules for the PMC may vary from year to year, so it’s best to visit the official Pan-Mass Challenge website for the most up-to-date information on the event. Please be prepared for traffic from the cyclists and for their support teams on Sunday as they pass through Eastham, MA on their way to Provincetown.

Beat the Heat at the Beach!

Another hot day? Beach the heat at the beach! Planning for a hot day at the beach can ensure that you have an enjoyable and safe experience. Here are some tips to help you plan for a hot day at the beach:

  1. Check the weather: Before heading to the beach, make sure to check the weather forecast. Look for sunny and clear skies, and take note of the temperature and any potential heat advisories.
  2. Choose the right beach: Pick a beach that offers amenities such as shaded areas, umbrellas, and nearby facilities like restrooms and refreshment stands. It’s also helpful to consider the cleanliness and safety of the beach you’re planning to visit.
  3. Pack essential items: Prepare a beach bag with all the necessary items you’ll need. Some essential items include:
    • Sunscreen: Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF and apply it generously to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
    • Sun hat and sunglasses: These will provide additional protection for your face and eyes.
    • Beach umbrella or canopy: Having a shaded area to retreat to can help you escape the direct sun during the hottest parts of the day.
    • Beach towels and chairs: Pack enough towels for everyone and bring portable beach chairs or mats for comfortable seating.
    • Cooler with drinks and snacks: Stay hydrated by bringing plenty of water and pack some healthy snacks to keep you energized.
    • Swimsuits and towels: Don’t forget your swimwear and extra towels for swimming and drying off.
    • Extra clothing: Bring a light cover-up, a change of clothes, and a warm layer for cooler evening temperatures.
    • Beach games and entertainment: Consider bringing items like beach balls, frisbees, or a good book to keep you entertained.
  4. Timing is important: Plan to arrive at the beach early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the peak heat of the day. This can help minimize your exposure to intense sun and reduce the risk of heat-related illnesses.
  5. Hydrate frequently: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Avoid excessive alcohol or caffeine consumption as they can contribute to dehydration.
  6. Practice sun safety: Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply it every two hours, or more frequently if you’re swimming or sweating. Seek shade periodically, especially during the hottest part of the day.
  7. Stay cool: Take breaks in the shade, use a beach umbrella or canopy, and bring a handheld fan or portable misting fan to stay cool. Consider wearing lightweight and breathable clothing to help regulate your body temperature.
  8. Water safety: If you plan to swim, be mindful of water safety. Follow any posted warnings or advisories, swim in designated areas, and be aware of currents or rip tides. If you’re not a strong swimmer, consider wearing a life jacket.
  9. Respect the environment: Remember to leave the beach clean and dispose of your trash properly. Follow any local guidelines regarding beach activities and wildlife protection.

By following these tips, you can make the most of your hot day at the beach while staying safe and comfortable. Enjoy your time in the sun!
