On Monday, Cormier was on a stationary bike in the hall of the Gateway Mall, in front of the Sears department store. He’s been completing his goal distance of 700 km little by little, and had reached about halfway, with a little over 300 km left.

Cormier said their store has been happy to be involved.

“Anything we can do,” he said. “It’s a good cause.”

Those wanting to donate can buy a t-shirt for $2, a hat for $1 or simply drop off money as a donation.

The store has also been putting on fundraisers throughout the month.

All proceeds go directly to the foundation with no administration fees.

Over the years, Sears has raised about $9 million which goes to children suffering or recovering from cancer.

This year, the cross-Canada journey began in Vancouver on Sept. 10. The group finished in Halifax 17 days later, on Sept. 26.

According to the event website, selected national riders each rode between 150 and 220 kilometres per day.

At the start and end of each day they all participated in community events and visit many of Canada’s 17 pediatric oncology centres and hospitals.
