Hello and welcome to my Canadian Cancer Society, Cops for Cancer fundraising page. I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by - I know everyone is busy, but with your help and your donation we can make a difference in the life of a child with cancer.

My name is Lance Stephenson, I was born and raised on Vancouver Island and I have been involved with the Tour de Rock for several years, supporting the fundraising initiatives in the Central Island area as a member of the Nanaimo Tour de Rock Committee and in my pre-retirement role as a Paramedic in both Alberta and BC. I am humbled and honored to be taking this journey.

I will be training and riding alongside 18 highly motivated first responders and media folks. We will be training over the next several months preparing to ride 1200km from one end of Vancouver Island to the other - all to support local children and families living with cancer and beyond. The money raised from this event will support the Canadian Cancer Society in fueling new pediatric cancer research discoveries and sending 600 kids each year to Camp Goodtimes, a medically-supervised recreation experience for children and teens affected by cancer and their families.

I dream of the day where no child has to experience cancer - as a father of four and a grandfather of two, this day can't come soon enough. Over my career I have seen and managed a lot of difficult situations, but nothing comes close to the impact cancer has on children and their families.

Join the team, we will do the riding, you make the donation.

Please make a donation on my behalf and help me reach my fundraising goal! Donate online, it is secure and it saves the Canadian Cancer Society money by reducing administrative costs. You will automatically be sent a receipt if requested.

Thank you, Lance
