“I love the cause,” Kooger said.
“I love what’s it doing; the research and sending kids to Camp Goodtimes, and I love cycling and meeting new people.”
Joining RCMP members along with Emergency Services Personnel was first-time community rider Chris Fedoruk from Quesnel.
“Somebody I work with planted the seed a few years ago, and I thought about it and this year I finally decided that it’s going to work out for me for timing,” Fedoruk who works at Integris Credit Union said.
“I committed to it this year and trained hard and hopefully I can a difference in some kids’ lives now.”
