The Tour de Rock team cycles from one end of Vancouver Island to the other, over 14 days, covering 1,000 kilometres.

This year, the 22-rider team includes:
- Mary Brigham Tom Gill Mike Massine
- Chris Bush Scott Green James Matsuda
- Rochelle Carr Shawn Hall Stephanie McFarlane
- Manon Chouinard Louise Hartland Aaron Murray
- Jarrod Christison Andrew Harward Bill Peppy
- Alvin Deo Sandra Holman Sandi Swanson

Fundraising
Each rider is accepting donations on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society - BC and Yukon Division.
The riders' fundraising efforts will also help keep places like Camp Goodtimes in Maple Ridge, B.C., in operation. Camp Goodtimes is where kids are given the oportunity to get away for awhile and forget about their daily struggles with cancer, and enjoy life again.
They can talk to other kids who have survived what they are now experiencing and get pointers on things most people would never consider. It’s a place where kids can take a wig off in public for the first time and feel they won’t be judged. It’s a place where kids can just be kids.
