Backed by about 300 runners and cyclists from the capital region and elsewhere just over $238,000 had been raised by early evening on Saturday and money was continuing to come in. Others were taking part in places such as Edmonton, Calgary, the Yukon and the U.K. Berube has stage four cancer and Victoria Beacon Hill MLA Lore’s son Asher, aged four, has a brain tumour. Berube and Lore are elated by others who took part in the campaign. On Saturday morning the pair started with a two-kilometre run and then covered four laps on the lake trail for a total of 42.2 kilometres.
