Cyclist riding from PG to Vancouver raising money for cancer care

– Files from Zachary Barrowcliff, My Cariboo Now

A cyclist is making the trek from Prince George to Vancouver in the name of the BC Cancer Foundation.

Mark Camps’ journey began in the Northern Capital on Sunday, April 21st.

Camps said he doesn’t just have one person in mind when he’s riding.

“There’s been parents of good friends, there’s been personal relatives of mine, very good neighbours at home,” he told Vista Radio. “It’s not specifically for one individual, but it’s kind of for everybody that’s had a bit of a struggle.”

From Prince George, he’s gone south down Highway 97 and made his way to Clinton yesterday (April 24).

Next up: Lillooet, Pemberton, and finally Vancouver by Friday.

Donations can be made on Camp’s personal fundraising page on the BC Cancer Foundation’s website.
