The Pedal for Hope team is gearing up to continue their mission to give hope to children living with cancer and their families. 

I am participating in Cops for Cancer to support the mission of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer. On May 10, 2023, I will be donating 12 inches of my hair, because of my grandfather who had pancreatic cancer and passed away four years ago. I hope my hair can be a wig for someone who needs it. I miss my grandpa very much and think he would be very proud of me.

History 

In 2005, the Peterborough Chapter of Cops for Cancer took on a new identity. The Pedal for Hope Cycling Team was born and local children living with cancer had a new support team behind them! Local police personnel, first responders, a retired N.H.L. hockey player and a great crew of support personnel have been dedicating their time to this worthy cause. 

The Pedal for Hope team cycles throughout Central Ontario visiting local schools and businesses delivering a powerful message about kids living with cancer. We are proud of what we give back to our community but can’t do it without the support of our ‘Pedal for Hope Friends’ and their families, our police services, our schools, local businesses, and our sponsors.  

Help us Make Every Pedal Count – Donate today! 

The money raised from this event is designated to the Pediatric Family Counselling Service as well as leading pediatric cancer research. It helps fund leading-edge pediatric cancer research that is improving cancer treatments, preventing cancer and saving lives. Providing reliable and up-to-date information on cancer, risk reduction and treatment; offering vital community-based support services for children and young adults living with cancer and their families; and the funds help The Canadian Cancer Society advocate for healthy public policies. 

Donate today! Help us reach our fundraising goal! Every donation takes us one pedal further to changing the future of cancer. Donating online is secure and it saves the Canadian Cancer Society money by reducing administrative costs. 

Thanks for your support!
