CN Cycle for CHEO raises nearly a million dollars for kids with cancer

[guest]

Thousands pedalled, skated and walked to raise a record-setting $953,466 for cancer care and research for kids Sunday at the CN Cycle for CHEO.​

Among the fundraisers were 12-year-old Alex Tourangeau, 13-year-old Léa Enström and five-year-old Bruno Giammaria, who represented all CHEO cancer patients at the CN Cycle for CHEO and were on stage at the Canadian War Museum to hear the grand total.​

“Every year, 75 families receive the news from CHEO doctors that one of their children has cancer,” CHEO Foundation president and CEO Kevin Keohane said.​

“Today is all about those families and making sure they receive top notch care and have access to world class research.”​

A total of 224 teams took part in the Ottawa Citizen Team Challenge.​

Topping the corporate teams was the Ericsson Viking Voyageurs with $67,879.00. Team Molly was the top non-corporate team, raising $30,993, and David Logan raised the most of any individual fundraiser with $8,101. Proceeds benefit the CHEO Foundation, Candlelighters and Ronald McDonald House.​
