Local volunteers are constructing a playset for 2-year-old Colton Carter-Cover of Chesapeake who is fighting cancer.

The construction will coincide with Roc the Ride, a 23-member cycling team traveling throughout Hampton Roads, which will be come to an end at Colton's home.

The cycling team will meet up with dozens of local cancer kids and their families at Deep Creek Central Elementary School to ride the “final mile” with them — joining Colton and his family as they arrive home.

After Colton sees his new playset, there will be a backyard picnic.
