Ronald McDonald House is kicking off its annual “Kilometers for Kids” fundraiser this week, and this year’s participants are literally going the distance.
The team of cyclists plan to bike 1000 km over the course of eight days, travelling from the northwest tip of the island to Ronald McDonald House in St. John’s.
All funds raised through the initiative will go towards the charity’s programs and services.
A send-off for the team is being held at the Labrador City Arena on Tuesday at 6 p.m. The actual ride takes place July 9 to July 16.
