Participants of the Cruisin’ For A Cure fundraising bike tour made a pit stop in Vegreville on Saturday, August 8. ‘Riding towards a future free of blood cancers,’ supports the hematology program at the University of Alberta Hospital.

Spencer Sherwood pledged to raise funds for his son Brandon who received treatment for leukemia at the U of A Hospital. This was the third time the bike tour has been held.

Donations go towards the advancement of research into cutting-edge treatment, innovative technology, and to increase patient comfort in the University of Alberta Hospital’s hematology program.
