With six kids aged nine to 13 in her household, Prince George RCMP Cpl. Meghan Driscoll has a busy life.
“Everybody has somebody in their family that’s been touched by cancer and for kids suffering with pediatric cancer it gives them and their families the opportunity to go to camp and talk to their families and not feel alone,” said Driscoll. “This is my first ride, this year, but it’s been my dream for 20 years. When I was at depot we did a shaving-our-heads fundraiser for Cops For Cancer, so this is my full-circle moment,” said Driscoll.
Driscoll and training partners Megan Lee and Allie Fenske, both of North District RCMP, have been training regularly and just completed an 80-km ride. They’re working up to a 120-km trip and plan to race in the Kris Yip Fondo, June 22 at Tabor Lake. Their longest day during the Cops for Cancer ride will be 190 km.
A native of Qualicum Park, Driscoll also worked with the RCMP on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland before she transferred to Prince George.
