Some journeys are measured in kilometres. Others are measured in lives touched.

This week, Canada Cycles for Kids (CCFK) crossed the finish line of their Vancouver Island ride at Victoria General Hospital (VGH), marking 25 years of unwavering commitment to children and families across Canada.

In celebration of this milestone anniversary, CCFK presented an incredible $100,000 gift to the Victoria Hospitals Foundation. The donation will fund four new bedside fetal monitors in the Labour, Delivery and Recovery Unit, helping support the care of more than 3,000 babies born at VGH each year.

Since inception, CCFK has raised more than $4 million for hospitals, healthcare programs, and charities nationwide, demonstrating the extraordinary impact that is possible when a community comes together around a shared purpose.

To the riders, donors, volunteers, and founders Marc Balevi and Robert Fetherstonhaugh: thank you for turning every kilometre into better care, brighter futures, and lasting change for children and families across Canada.
