Pedal For Hope Stops By Grafton Public School

In Editor Choice, Local

The Pedal for Hope team was visiting area schools in Northumberland County last week and stopped by Grafton Public School on Thursday, May 9, 2019.

For three weeks the Pedal for Hope team will ride their bicycles over a distance of approximately 1,000 km’s with stops at local schools where they will deliver an important message about kids living with cancer.

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 fighting cancer had a new support team behind them! Local police personnel, a retired N.H.L. hockey player and a great crew of support personnel have been dedicating time to this worthy cause. Starting in late April, the Pedal for Hope team cycles 1,000 kilometres, visiting approximately 46 local schools delivering a message about kids living with cancer and raises funds for pediatric cancer research.

As of now, Pedal for Hope has raised over $4 million dollars for pediatric cancer research.
