Shawnigan vs. Cancer

The Tour de Rock visits Shawnigan

Cops for Cancer riders arrived at Shawnigan Lake School to glistening sunshine and a gauntlet of support.

Students and staff, wearing their new 'Remember' T-shirts and clutching homemade signs, greeted the Tour for a Wednesday morning event that included more head shaving and the presentation of a cheque for $26,000.

A record number of Shawnigan students have embraced the cause this year, including all of Duxbury House as well as numerous members of staff.

The battle continues with Thursday's Shawnigan Terry Fox Run, and then Sunday's participation in the Run for the Cure in Victoria.
