PRINCE GEORGE — Nearly 13 first responders and community riders in Northern B.C. will begin a seven-day, 850-kilometre cycling journey in just over a week’s time. 

Cops for Cancer Tour de North will begin in Fort St. John on Sept. 11 and wrap up in Williams Lake on Sept. 17. 

RCMP say the riders will visit multiple communities and schools to help raise funds for childhood cancer research and support programs. This year, Tour de North’s funds will go to Camp Goodtimes, a service from the Canadian Cancer Society that offers year-round recreational programs for campers dealing with cancer with no cost to the participating families. 

In a news release issued Friday (Sept. 4), police say Tour de North comes following months of training and fundraising. 

“Through the dedication of riders, volunteers, donors and community members, Cops for Cancer is advancing research, supporting families at every stage of their cancer experience, and helping create a future where no child faces cancer alone,” RCMP state.
