Teen prepares for cancer fundraising bike ride

A former resident of Webbwood is again riding for cancer next month.  Fourteen-year-old Tanner Levesque started his annual bike ride four years ago when his grandfather died of lung cancer in 2011.  Tanner now lives in Val Therese, and his ride has raised $12-thousand for lung cancer research since its inception.  He`ll cycle from his home to the Cancer Centre in Sudbury on August 29th.  To make a pledge call 705-936-7970.
