For the next four months they will be out in their bright blue jerseys on their bikes training for the week-long September Cops For Cancer ride to raise funds to help kids beat cancer.
This year’s Tour de North team riders are: Andrew Simpson, Allison Feske, Robert Orlowski, Meghan Driscoll, Brandon Jones, Megan Lee, Jacob Kooman, Douglas Furlong, David Horvath, Sydney Steinbach, Jamie MacPherson, Sharleen Bast, Owen Vrbos, Terry Jackson, Leighton Johnson, Anna Zinti, Rob Gallo and JJ Bast.
“Cancer sits close to my heart as I lost my best friend and glue to my entire family in less than three weeks to it,” said Steinbach, a BCEHS paramedic from Fort St. James. “I am riding this year in honour of my family and for all who have been affected by this horrible disease.”
