The 2025 Cops for Cancer Tour De North has wrapped up for another year.
The ride, which was 861 kilometres in distance, raises funds for paediatric cancer research, wrapped up in Prince Rupert yesterday (Thursday).
One of the riders, is local resident Ron Gallo who told Vista Radio they are almost at their fundraising goal of $250,000.
“We are looking at raising or surpassing a quarter of a million dollars and we have until the end of November to do that for the 2025 Tour de North time period and so we are so close. It is $245,000 and a few hundred dollars after that.”
Gallo added the money raised also helps send kids to Camp Goodtimes, which is near Langley.
“It’s not just research, its not just fundraising, it’s not just treatment but it’s also about making sure the children and their families get to enjoy something so many of us have taken advantage of or have taken advantage of and that is the simple fact of being a kid and enjoying life in a camp setting.”
He stated people can still donate by going to tourdenorth.ca which will allow you to donate to a specific rider or team.
