W IL K IN SO N ’S
grandmother became ill 10 years ago,
they wanted to help by riding in the Pan-
Massachusetts Challenge, a 190-mile bike
trek held every summer to raise money for
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
Told they were too young, the Wilkinsons
and their friends garnered donations and
started a kids' ride
(kids.pmc.org)
on their
street. They raised $1,600. This year, their
ride and nearly 30 other kids’ rides around
the country will raise $600,000 for the
hospital. “It just grew and grew,” says
Hattie, now 15. “It’s the power of an idea.”
