Team aims to raise $200,000 to combat cancer by time epic cycling trip rolls around in September
For the next six months, 13 people from law enforcement, emergency services and related fields across northern B.C. will be working to meet a pair of epic goals.
They've committed to this year's Cops for Cancer Tour de North. Now in its 22nd year, the annual campaign is held in the name of the Canadian Cancer Society and culminates in September with a seven day, 800-kilometre ride from Prince Rupert to Prince George. By then, they also hope to have raised $200,000 for CCS."I like cycling and always wanted to do this.” said Johnston. “Personally, when one of my daughters was younger, she suffered some serious medical issues.
Other team members are Scott Roberts , Sabrina Maaske , Aaron Dale , Roland Dixon , Fiona Pirrie , Fraser Bjornson , Kasper Green , Justin Preston , Jacque Van Wyngaardt , Jordan Venditelli , Jamie MacPherson and Anna Zintl . The money raised will go to research in pediatric cancer and help send as many as 600 kids to Camp Goodtimes, a medically-supervised recreation experience for children and teens affected by cancer.
“With cancer still the leading cause of disease-related death in children under the age of 15, we know we have more work to do. It wouldn’t be possible without our first responder partners across the province, and the contributions of our generous sponsors and donors,” said Cops for Cancer senior manager Ninon Daubigeon.
