About the event
In 2002, when Emma was about to embark on her final treatments for childhood cancer, her father, Barry realized how much support his family had received from the Kids with Cancer Society throughout their family’s journey. His friend Gerry Shillabeer was determined to help Barry and others facing similar challenges and launched the ride to help the Kids with Cancer Society.

Le Tour of Hope is an exhilarating and challenging 8-day cycling adventure championed by Nick Lees of the Edmonton Journal to support the Kids with Cancer Society. This year celebrates the 10th tour by pedaling over the 3 highest mountain passes in Alberta: Highwood Pass, Bow Summit and Sunwapta Pass. The Triple Crown Mountain Challenge will take cyclists to Coleman, Longview, Lake Louise, Columbia Icefields, Jasper, Edson, Wabamun Lake and home to Edmonton. An amazing 1,018 km will be cycled to support children with cancer and their families.

Each cyclist is required to collect a minimum of $3,500 in pledges. To date the ride has raised over $1,460,000!
