ABBOTSFORD (NEWS1130) – Police and emergency services personnel from across the province are cycling for up to two weeks across Northern BC, Vancouver Island, the coast and the Fraser Valley.
Cops For Cancer is raising money for life-saving research.
Chris Coburn with our station Country 107.1 in the Fraser Valley is riding along with them. He says the support is overwhelming.
“They’ll meet us on the sidewalk… hand a $20 bill out the window out the window to one of our motorcycle escorts. They’ll come up if we’re stopped and personally tell us their stories. Some have been in tears while doing it. It’s a very emotional journey for everybody,” he tells us.
“Kids who have passed, kids who are fighting… It’s not difficult to be emotionally motivated at all, once you meet these kids and the families and truly understand what they’re going through,” he adds.
