Navy Members Bike To Grant Wishes

Members of the Canadian navy will be biking this month to ensure little kids can go to Disney World or the West Edmonton Mall.
 

Bike for Wishes sees two teams raise money for the Children's wish foundation.

Jason Ellsworth tells CHSJ News members from HMCS Moncton and HMCS Fredericton are taking part this year.

He says last year the event brought in $60,000 allowing them to grant 6 wishes across the province.


Ellsworth says across the province is working on 55 wishes for kids with life threatening illnesses between the ages of 3 and 17.

Two teams of up to 9 people each will begin the bike ride in Sackville and in Miramichi.   


The event ends in Fredericton on the 16th.
