A group of friends will be driving cross country to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.
Starting on Tuesday, Annie Lelievre and members of the Metal Saints will be traveling from Fort McMurray to Gaspé, Quebec.
They’re coming off a 200 km ride along Highway 63 to honour all the individuals who’ve died on the road.
Lelievre tells Mix News, despite the long trip, it wasn’t hard to find the motivation to do the ride.
“Two of the ladies that ride with me have lost their fathers within the last couple of years due to cancer and we have a lot of girlfriends right now battling cancer.”
