The Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock raises funds in support of life-saving pediatric cancer research and support programs for children and their families who have a history of cancer. Over the past 22 years, Tour de Rock has raised an astonishing $26 million dollars thanks to the support of Island residents and the hundreds of first responders who cycle 1,200 km over 14 days across Vancouver Island.

This year though, due to the unprecedented impact of COVID-19, Tour de Rock will look slightly different than the event we all have come to know and love – but it’s not cancelled! Cancer doesn’t take a backseat during a world pandemic, so nor are we. Tour will be visiting your community this fall with some familiar faces. For the first time in our 22 year history, our Alumni Riders have been invited back to ride Tour! Stay tuned for more information about the incredible first responders who are now taking on the challenge of riding Tour for the second time.

This year…we need your help more than ever! Please consider supporting Island kids and their families. You can help by making a donation online, starting your own online fundraising page, or by visiting our event locations during Tour (more details to come!).
