Pedal For Hope Peterborough achieves Guinness World Record in support of the Canadian Cancer Society
On Saturday, May 16, 2015, 267 participants had their heads shaved simultaneously at the Peterborough Airport for Pedal For Hope Peterborough — achieving the Guinness World Record in head shaving.
Amanda Mochan, adjudicator with Guinness World Records in New York City, attended the world record attempt and certified the achievement.
The Pedal For Hope team wrapped up its 2015 tour by riding into the Loomex Building at the Peterborough Airport on Saturday at noon, where they joined members of the community in the world record attempt.
The head-shaving event was in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. Money raised from the event will help fund leading-edge cancer research, information, advocacy, and community-based support services for people living with cancer and their families.

Pedal For Hope is a three week cycling tour delivering a message about kids living with cancer and supporting Pediatric Cancer Research.
In 2005, the Peterborough Chapter of Cops for Cancer took on a new identity. The Pedal for Hope Cycling Team was born and local children fighting cancer had a new support team behind them! Local police personnel, a retired N.H.L. hockey player and a great crew of support personnel have been dedicating time to this worthy cause. Starting in late April, the Pedal for Hope team cycles throughout Central Ontario visiting approximately 50 local schools delivering a message about kids living with cancer and raises funds for pediatric cancer research. As of now, Pedal for Hope has raised over $4 million dollars for pediatric cancer research.
