Big J has joined many of his classmates, and is fundraising for the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock bike ride. This is a huge event here on Vancouver Island.

The Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock raises money for pediatric cancer research and programs for children with a history of cancer. The Tour de Rock team cycles from one end of the Vancouver Island to the other, over 15 days, covering 1,000 kilometres.

Big J is raising pledges and will shave his head in mid October, in sympathy with the hairloss that cancer patients suffer.

We are quite impressed. :D

(also very relieved that they hold it AFTER picture day LOL)

Is Big J planning to join that 1,000 K bike ride?

Nope, that is a group of Cops and "special Invitees". They are all adults. Each one represents a "cancer buddy".

As an aunt of a teen cancer survivor, I thank James sincerely. My three boys shaved their heads in support of their cousin when he went bald, and all four sported pumpkins painted on their pates for Halloween. Kids!
