A new record for Cops for Kids - Best ride yet
21 riders and 6 support members, including Vernon RCMP Superintendent Reg Burgess and members from local RCMP detachments and law enforcement agencies pedalled across South Eastern BC as a part of the annual fundraiser to raise money for children in medical, physical or traumatic crisis. This journey took the team over steep elevation changes such as the Anarchist Mountain and the Blueberry Paulson, and served up both some inclement weather and a few hot riding days, but all in all it was a very successful and rewarding ride. The end of the 2012 Ride also marked a record breaking $215,000 raised for local children in crisis. Money raised from this event will fund requests for medical travel, mobility & learning aids for children from the South East District of British Columbia. Cops for Kids have processed over 99 applications for assistance so far this year, and continue to see a need for continued support for children in crisis throughout the region.
