Tour de Rock raises over $1-million for pediatric cancer research

The 2016 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock has come to a close.

Riders wrapped up the two week journey this weekend in Victoria. North Island rider Brent Shemilt says it was incredible to see the community come out to support the cause.

He notes the biggest thing is how many great people are out there who support causes like this.

Shemilt says being a part of tour has been an incredible experience and it’s hard to believe the two weeks are already over. The 2016 Tour de Rock raised $1,278,065 for the Canadian Cancer Society and pediatric cancer research.
