Firefighters have raised about $6,500 so far with two weeks still to go before they ride off down Highway 97, biking for burns.
The 3rd Annual Prince George Fire Fighters' Burn Fund Cycle Tour will wheel out on June 24 to Quesnel's Dragon Lake, then back on June 25. Five firefighters will be making the highway trek.
"The Burn Fund provides life saving, life supporting, and life enriching services to people all across British Columbia," said tour spokesperson Kelly Henderson. "Funds raised will help benefit burn survivors in Northern B.C. as well as throughout the province."
There are two more events planned for the Burn Fund effort, one of them before the bike tour leaves and one more after they return.
- June 18 come to Superstore for a parking lot barbecue from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
- July 9 come to Fire Hall No. 2 for an Open House and by-donation car wash from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. (first 100 vehicles entered for a door prize).
