To keep a promise, Jasper fire chief Greg Van Tighem plans to cycle across the roof of Canada in March. “In early 2013, I set the target of raising $93,000 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada in each of the next three years by making an annual epic bike ride,” he says.  In April of that year he completed his first ride, the nearly 3000-kilometre length of Highway 93 from Wickenburg, Arizona to Jasper. It raised more than $96,000 and made the chief the top MS fundraiser in Canada.
