Cops for Cancer

Cops for Cancer is an exciting annual event that takes place each fall, when over a hundred law enforcement and emergency services personnel from across the country brave all types of weather as they cycle up to two weeks to raise funds for life-saving pediatric cancer research and support programs. In June 1994, Sergeant Gary Goulet of the Edmonton Police Service met Lyle Jorgenson, a 5-year-old boy who had cancer and was being ridiculed at school because of his hair loss due to chemotherapy. Goulet was so moved by the boy’s story that he decided to do something. That was the beginning of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer campaign. Goulet gathered a group of Edmonton officers who were willing to shave their own heads to show kids that being bald was cool. The head-shaving event caught on and was adopted by neighbouring police forces. The campaign has now evolved into a major community-based campaign supporting kids with cancer.
