OSCVI Inside Ride Supports Cancer Victims

Families of children with cancer will find life a little easier thanks to hundreds of kids at Owen Sound's OSCVI.
The annual Inside Ride event saw 375 young people and volunteers, all dressed in crazy costumes, ride stationary bikes.
This morning's ride raised over $20,000 to bring the five year total to $132,000.
Childcan London will use the funds to help families with children who have cancer pay for things like parking, meals, accommodations, gas and household expenses.
 OSCVI student Alex Muzzell has been participating since the event started five years ago.
 He says they think of kids with cancer when they're participating.
"They don't get to live their life the way they wanted to and unfortunately there's nothing they can do about it so if we can out there and do our best to help them maybe we can make a difference for kids in the future," says Alex.
The Inside Ride was first started as a tribute to OSCVI student Brendan Rourke who died of cancer at the age of 19.
The ride has now been renamed "The Brendan Rourke Memorial Inside Ride"
