The Big Bike Ride BC team - over $27,000 raised for cancer research! Cross Canada Charity Challenge

Congratulations to the members of the Big Ride BC team for the incredible success of their ride. The dedication and efforts truly illustrate the caring nature of Raymond James.

The team rode 920 kilometers from the BC/Alberta border, high into the Rocky Mountains, all the way to Victoria on the Pacific coast. Their motivation was to support cancer treatment and research. They raised over $27,000, and that is a great way to celebrate Canada's 150 birthday.
