RBC - Cops For Cancer, Pedal For Hope - Mississauga
de Canadian Cancer Society – Société canadienne du cancer
Cops for Cancer began in 1997 with one police officer who wanted to make a difference. Ever since, it’s grown into a united effort across Canada and has become one of the largest fundraising events for childhood cancer research in the country.
As a partnership between first responders and the Canadian Cancer Society, we’ve raised nearly $56 million to increase survival rates and support children living with cancer and their families.
Nothing big gets solved by one person or one organization. To take on cancer, it takes every one of us. It takes a society.
In addition to supporting pediatric cancer research, the Pedal for Hope tour is also raising funds to support the Pediatric Family Counselling Service. This program provides much needed support to families and children coping with a cancer diagnosis, as well as young adults who have surpassed their diagnosis as they transition into adulthood.
