The 18th annual YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids took over Stuart Park in Âé¶¹AV on June 1. 

Riders hopped on stationary bikes set up at the park to help raise funds to ensure every child has access to a YMCA membership no matter their family's financial situation. 

"We provide mental health supports, education and drop-out prevention programming, as well as family support systems," said the YMCA of Southern Interior BC's Vice-President of Marketing and Philanthropy Tammie Watson. 

Aside from cycling, the day included food vendors, a kid zone, wellness tents, and some street hockey. 

The fundraiser goal of $220,000 was met during the final ride slot at 1 p.m. until June 10.
