It was grey outside this afternoon (April 27) in Prince George, but that didn't stop those climbing to fight cancer.
Proceeds raised from the event go to the Kordyban Lodge here in the city.
The Climb for Cancer organizers say close to $60,000 was raised this year and close to 500 climbers. The original goal was set at $70,000 for the fourth-year event.
More and more (there are people doing this five times)... #cityofpg @bccancerfdn @cancersociety #cancer #fcancer #fundraiser #fighters #climbforcancer @PGMatters @northern pic.twitter.com/HjApOccqHQ
