Cops for Cancer Website
As you may already know, Cops for Cancer, Tour de Rock is the largest cancer fundraiser on the Island. The Tour de Rock involves a team of island police officers cycling from the north end of the island to the south over a period of 12 days. The team will stop in over 30 communities, one of which will be your town. The Tour de Rock raises money for childhood cancer research and Camp Goodtimes, a free summer camp for children with a history of cancer. To date Vancouver Island has raised over 2.7 million dollars in the last five years and this year they have been able to send 38 island children to camp.
