Participants in the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast were in New Westminster Wednesday for one of their final visits before wrapping up the 900-kilometre bike trip.
Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Wayne Baier and auxiliary Const. Larry Wong were among the group of officers and emergency personnel that took part in the charity ride from Sept. 17 to 25. The nine-day ride saw the group travel through the Lower Mainland and up around the Sea-to-Sky corridor.
Both Baier and Wong surpassed their fundraising goals of $6,000 – Baier raised more than $6,880 while Wong was the fourth-highest fundraising raising more than $9,000.
All funds raised during the various Cops for Cancer rides goes toward the Canadian Cancer Society, which uses the money to support children battling cancer and their families. In total, the Tour de Coast ride raised more than $186,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
