A milestone year for the 25th annual Cops for Kids Ride got underway last week as 23 law enforcement cyclists and support crew rolled out from Kelowna on the morning of Sept. 5 on a 10-day journey to raise funds for children facing serious medical, physical, or traumatic challenges.
A group of 24 riders stopped at the Oliver fire hall on Sept. 9 to rest and collect donations during their long cycling journey throughout the Kootenays and the South Okanagan, with stops in Oliver and Osoyoos. It’s an arduous journey at the best of times, with hill climbs over Anarchist Mountain and Paulson Pass.
Constable Jared Zeeman says he loves riding through communities to meet families benefitting from the campaign.
